Annual Giving Guide

The vision of the Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre (CAPCC) is to be known and embraced by our community as a Centre that extends grace, provides education, and ongoing, compassionate support before, during, and after pregnancy. Our programs are free*, confidential, and are offered in a safe and non-judgmental environment regardless of age, gender, race, or religion. We have offices in Red Deer, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, and Stettler.

Being primarily privately funded, we rely on the generosity of our community to enable us to run our programs throughout Central Alberta at no cost to our clients.

This guide provides examples of how your donation may be used. All gifts are welcome and will go towards the operating funds of the CAPCC. We appreciate any gift amount you choose to give.

* Maternity Home residents contribute financially to the program as they are able as program fees.
