​Summer 2026

​

Dear Friends of the Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa,

The big news of the hour is that we have moved to a new location. Our address is 1123 First
Avenue East. Our front door faces Goodwill and O’Reilly Auto Parts directly across the street.
Unfortunately, we were facing some environmental issues in our old location that were making it difficult to keep the center clean, safe and attractive for our staff and our clients’ families, particularly babies and children. Our new location brings us into close relationships with WIC, Open Arms, and Capstone Behavioral Healthcare, all of whom serve many of our mutual clients.

​

We are so richly blessed to have five wonderful, dedicated Christian women who are serving as our counselor/mentors. In addition to long-time servants Lynnette Christensen and Juana
McConnell, we have welcomed Sara Jansen, Kelsey Miranda and Lesley Shadden to our
ministry at PCCI. These women are the face of Christ to many who do not see Him elsewhere,
and we continue to show our clients God’s love and Good News through our love and support
for them and their families.

This move resulted in much lost inventory that was no longer safe for little ones, which is heart wrenching. We will be assessing needs in the near future. At this time, we give thanks for our many blessings and request your continued prayers. Your support is our sustaining grace, as always, as we move forward with our mission. We thank God for each of you and wish His blessings for you as you have so richly blessed us.

Please always feel free to contact us for more information or with any questions you might have about PCCI. Our door is always open for you to visit and see firsthand what happens here. As we provide for the earthly needs of our families and children, we pray that we are also touching their spiritual needs, as well.

Blessings,
Rita, Sheila and Staff
