Donors & Volunteers

Donors

Established in 1988, the Pregnancy Care Centre is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization funded by individuals, businesses, and churches who believe in the work of the Centre and the positive impact it is having on Halifax and the surrounding area.

Donations can be made in person or by phone. We accept cash, cheques, and Visa. For those interested in monthly donations, we encourage direct bank withdraw. The withdraw takes place consistently each month, allowing the Pregnancy Care Centre to budget and manage expenses appropriately. Forms can be picked up at the centre or mailed to you. Thank you for considering making a difference in this area of ministry.

Donations can also be made online through CanadaHelps.org.
