2024 Walk for Life

It is time once again for the annual Walk for Life.  This event serves as a primary fundraiser for The Care Center, allowing us to serve our patients and clients at no cost to them.

The Care Center provides pregnancy testing, limited ultrasound and STI testing, breastfeeding and childbirth classes at no cost. In addition, we provide material support for moms and dads, including clothing, diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, Life Skills and healthy choices education classes.

In addition, The Care Center’s school-based education program, The EDGE, impacts hundreds of Rhea County students every year, equipping them with the knowledge and support to avoid risky behaviors and eliminate the negative consequences associated with drugs, alcohol, and sexual activity. 

We desire to provide help and hope to those finding themselves in an unexpected pregnancy situation. We desire to equip women and men to be moms and dads, so they are confident in their parenting journey. We desire to equip students with the knowledge and refusal skills necessary to make healthy choices. Now, maybe more than ever, we need you to help bear this burden, and walk with us, as we walk with the families of our community.

Start your own online fundraising page here, and start making a difference today!

2021 Walk for Life

Make plans to join us for our annual Walk for Life event!

The event is the second largest fundraiser for The Care Center, and provides the funds we need to provide services for our clients.

Registered walkers collect sponsorships from friends, family members, coworkers and others. Don’t worry about collecting a check or cash. We can bill them. Sponsorships are single sponsorships, not based on how many miles you walk.

And raising just $200 gets you one of our official Walk for Life shirts!

Then join us on September 11, 2021, for registration at 8:30 am, in the parking lot of The Care Center. Together, we will walk in support of Life.

Sign up here to be a registered walker!

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

Theme Image Final Copy.jpg

January 17th is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

What is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday?

It is a day that was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, and held on the Sunday closest to the Roe v. Wade decision (Jan. 22, 1973).

On this day churches, Pastors, and organizations like The Care Center, seek to remember the uniqueness of human life and how God created each of us, even the preborn. It is also a day that we seek to bring awareness to the lives lost to the abortion industry.

This year we are not able to host our Open House, but we wanted you to still have the opportunity to see how we love and support the men and women facing unexpected pregnancies right here in our own communities.

Check out the video and let us know what questions you may have or if you would like to know ways you can be involved in this incredible ministry.

2020 Virtual Walk for Life

Walk with us anytime September 14-19th!

The Care Center Walk for Life GOES VIRTUAL!

Due to the extra precautions we are all taking, the 2020 Walk for Life will be held as a virtual event.

Are you wondering what that means?

Well, let me tell you!

First and foremost you will still gather your Sponsors just as in previous years. We will have Sponsor Forms available at area churches, The Care Center offices, and a version you can download straight to your computer and print off! Click here for the downloadable Sponsor Form.

Before you Walk, just drop off or mail in your Sponsor form and we will announce our top three earners the following week.

Then during the week of September 14-19 you will choose your own walking location and walk two miles for The Care Center! You can walk with your family, friends, or whomever you feel comfortable walking with.

We would ask that you send us a picture or even a short video of you walking. We want to see all the ways and locations that people can be found Walking for Life around our communities! You can use #tccwalkforlife2020 or send us the picture or video, info@thecarecentertn.org.

We recognize this is not our usual event and we are deeply saddened to not get to walk with every one of you; however, we are so glad that this event can continue through innovation and technology!

The Walk for Life is our second-largest fundraiser and, especially during this difficult time, is very important to our continuing to operate and serve those facing an unexpected pregnancy right here in our communities. Every dollar you help to raise goes into the work The Care Center does each day.

Thank you for Walking with us and we look forward to seeing your pictures!

If you are interested in becoming a Sponsored Walker or have questions, send us an email, info@thecarecentertn.org, or give us a call, 423-775-0019!

In the meantime, be on the lookout for more information as we get closer and go check out our Sponsors here!

Moody Radio Baby Shower

We are excited to be joining with Moody Radio Chattanooga as they host a community-wide Baby Shower for The Care Center and three other pregnancy centers!

On Thursday, April 26th we will be collecting baby items that our Learn-to-Earn Parenting Class participants will have the opportunity to buy with their vouchers. Our parents work hard to learn and provide for their children. We want to work hard to give them the best options for what they need for their baby.

If you would like to be involved you can come by The Care Center anytime between 7:30am-6:00pm on April 26th to drop off your items. Below are some of the things we are in need of:

  • Diapers, size Newborn - size 3
  • Baby Wipes
  • Baby Formula (Similac Advance)
  • Clothing, sizes Newborn-12 months
  • Baby Shampoo
  • Baby Lotion
  • Pacifiers
  • Blankets
  • Anything else that you might take to a friend’s baby shower would be a great blessing.

Plus, here are some great, and much-needed, options for your small group or Sunday school class to collect together:

  • Highchairs
  • Swings
  • Cribs (must not have sides that lower down)
  • Car seats (can be recently used, no older than 4 yrs)
  • Pack N Plays/Rock N Plays

Thank you for continuing to partner with us and serve those in need in Rhea County!

Love,

The Care Center
