The Women's Resource Center, a nonprofit organization that provides confidential services and support for women facing pregnancy-related decisions, has opened a new location in Lexington, Nebraska. The center, which started as a pregnancy hotline in 1973 and now has locations in North Platte and Ogallala, expanded to Lexington in response to community needs. The new Lexington site offers free services including pregnancy testing, abortion information, limited ultrasounds, and parenting classes.

Why it matters

The Women's Resource Center fills an important community need by offering judgment-free support and resources to help women make informed decisions about their pregnancies. Its expansion to Lexington ensures more women in the region have access to these vital services.

The details

The new Women's Resource Center location in Lexington is situated at 612 Grant St. and will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center's services are entirely funded by private donations, as it receives no state or federal grants. In the first few weeks since its soft opening, the Lexington site has already served 12 clients.
