It's a home where pregnant girls can stay up to 18 months and get their life together, according to Carole Haas, executive director. Bridgeway, also allows the young women to speak in high schools, letting girls know that having a baby is a hard choice, and one that shouldn't be done outside of marriage, said Haas. The staff and volunteers at Bridgeway stay in contact with the young women they assist, seeing if they need help with back to school supplies and clothes and inviting past residents to yearly camping trips and Christmas parties. Crisis pregnancy centers also share the continual need of donated items, money, and volunteers. Volunteers see God working in real concrete ways, said Wahl.
Many parishes help support the pregnancy centers.
