Abiding Hope, Inc. helps women and families in North Buncombe and Madison Counties that face an unplanned pregnancy. We help women by providing free pregnancy tests, free limited OB ultrasounds and speaking to them about their options. We also provide referrals to agencies that can help them with housing, food, clothing, and/or safety if needed. We talk with them throughout their pregnancy supporting the family in getting ready for baby. We provide parenting classes that can start in the first trimester and last through the first 2 years of life. When they come in for parenting classes, they earn points to go shopping in our baby closet that contains maternity clothes, baby items and clothes up to 2T. If someone loses their baby due to miscarriage or abortion, we have women that can come alongside and help the family work through their grief.
