Parents to be and current parents throughout central Iowa have been turning to the Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa in Newton for information and supplies for well over three decades. Rita Baker, the Pregnancy Center’s Director, says they consistently have 40 to 50 active clients who are receiving assistance with an unplanned pregnancy, or getting one on one instruction on pregnancy, infant care, and parenting. 

“We have had clients from Marshalltown to the north, Colfax, Prairie City, Kellogg, Monroe, and Knoxville.”

The Pregnancy Center of Central Iowa has two major fundraisers in Newton each year. Baker says the “Walk for Life” will be held Saturday, May 10th, while their Fall Banquet will take place November 22nd.
