2023 Annual Giving Guide
Annual Giving Guide The vision of the Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre (CAPCC) is to be known and embraced by our community as a Centre that extends grace, provides education, and ongoing, compassionate support before, during, and after pregnancy. Our programs are free*, confidential, and are offered in a safe and non-judgmental environment regardless of age, gender, race or religion. We have offices in Red Deer, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, and Stettler. Being primarily privately funded, we rely on the generosity of our community to enable us to run our programs throughout Central Alberta at no cost to our clients.

Thank you for your unconditional love and grace.”
