THE NURTURING NETWORK–practical help for women facing crisis pregnancies.

Who are they?

“The Nurturing Network is designed to meet the needs of all pregnant women with a special emphasis on assisting college and working women. These are the women for whom few, if any, resources had been made available until this mission of practical compassion was founded by Mary Cunningham Agee in 1985 following a mid-trimester miscarriage. It was in meditating upon this particularly painful loss that Mary began to discern the rough outline of what came to be the Nurturing Network.

“The objective of the Network’s ministry is not a political one, but a most practical one: to ensure that every woman knows that the resources she needs in order to continue her pregnancy are readily available without cost by calling the Nurturing Network’s toll free number. Our 800# has become one of the nation’s most effective lifelines, linking literally thousands of mothers to the support they urgently need both through our Network of individual members and the thousands of local crisis pregnancy centers who are actively involved in our Network.”
