FCWC began in 1985 when a small group of concerned citizens, dismayed at the number of women seeking abortions, sought to provide a place to share abortion alternatives. Since then we have grown into an accredited clinic offering a variety of medical and support services. All of our services are free. We do not accept any government funding. The generosity of churches and individuals like you have kept our doors open for decades.
