The Forestville Pregnancy Center is dedicated to educating, empowering, and protecting the right of women to make healthy choices about their pregnancies and their sexuality.
               
                          HISTORY OF THE FORESTVILLE PREGNANCY CENTER 
                                 
    The Forestville Pregnancy Center was opened in January 1984. The goal and purpose of the Center are to enable women to make educated and healthy decisions about their pregnancies and their sexuality. We promote abstinence and traditional family values.
     The FPC is nondenominational. Over 20,000 persons have received help from the FPC. Most were women who were pregnant or who thought they might be. More than 15,000 have received direct services by coming into the Center and others were helped by phone through information and education. Volunteers are trained by the Center. ALL FPC SERVICES ARE FREE.
      The Forestville Pregnancy Center is non-profit (501(c)(3)), non-political and non-sectarian. The Center is an independent entity governed by a volunteer board of directors. There is no parent organization that underwrites our funding or our staffing. We solicit all of our income. Donations to the Center are tax deductible. 
      Each year we serve approximately 1300 clients who mostly come from Prince George's County but our doors are open to all women regardless of where they live.  We see clients from Montgomery, Charles, Garrett, Baltimore, Calvert, and Annarundel Counties as well as Virginia and the District of Columbia.
      Our counselors are all trained by attending a 20 hour in house training program, including several supervised observations.  We currently have 45 volunteers at the Center.
