Our church supports Skylark on a monthly basis and we participate in local fundraisers. So when my daughter told me she was pregnant, I knew just where to take her. From the moment we walked through the door, my daughter was treated with kindness and respect. She was able to receive a free lab quality pregnancy test. All services offered are free ( including an ultrasound). She was also given information about earning clothing and needed baby supplies by taking parenting classes. While we were there, a couple came in to take a class together. At Skylark, young men are welcomed and offered support as they enter fatherhood. I trusted Skylark with my daughter and grandchild. Every expectant mother needs a solid support system. Let Skylark be part of yours.

I have been supporting Skylark for almost 30 years. I was forced by my parents to have an abortion at 17, and from that day I was Pro-Life. This came full circle when my daughter came home pregnant at 18. I asked her “What do you want to do? (Praying she would say what I wanted to hear.). She said “I want to keep my baby. What should I do?” And we both said: “Go to Skylark!”

That was 9 years ago and I still call my grandson our “Skylark baby!”

I know ALL the ways they help these young people see that abortion is NOT the only answer!!!! They help the young mothers (AND fathers!) to be, and teach them, and support them. Just ask those who have been helped by Skylark, they will tell you.

I give hundreds of dollars to Skylark every year, in memory of my baby, in Heaven, killed by an abortion provider. Skylark can tell women, “There ARE other options! We will help you.”

I am a volunteer at CareNet in Jesup. From my short time here, I have seen what a blessing this ministry is to our clients. The ministry not only offers practical help such as pregnancy tests, STD testing, Ultrasounds, baby clothing and formula - all at no cost to the client, but it offers parenting classes, childcare classes, what to expect when pregnant, etc. The staff is caring, concerned and loving of all our clients.

Care Net Pregnancy Center was a tremendous help to my family many years ago when my daughter was in a crisis situation. As a result, I have stayed in contact and have contributed to this very worthwhile cause over the years. Now, I am honored to be on the Board of Directors and serve with a wonderful group of Christian believers who take seriously the task that God has called them to.

Care Net Pregnancy Center is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to advancing the sanctity of human life and sexual purity. They counsel and support those in crises pregnancies and also counsel young women and men in sexual purity. They are a valuable asset to this community and surrounding communities and, as a board member and past recipient of their services, I am most grateful for the care that they provide.

I deem it a privilege to volunteer at the CareNet Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia in Brunswick Georgia. The Director, staff and other volunteers have the love of the Lord and compassion for the women of all ages that come to us for answers in what to do because of an unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately, many come with a mindset that the only answer is to have an abortion. The caring manner that the staff provides at the center, educates these women in that they are carrying a viable life, created by God. This changes so many minds and so many lives. Many have also accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior for the first time during this care. The support from our loyal and caring community helps to keep excellent, knowledgeable staff and equipment in house to quickly lead the clients in the right direction. There are programs for the fathers as well. The Braveheart program for teens is really great in educating the students in the schools to stay pure by practicing abstinence from sexual activity until marriage. This program prevents many of the unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases that other wise may occur.

It's gives me great pleasure to work with the CareNet team in Brunswick, GA. I'm most impressed with the compassion, quality of service and the zeal that's given each client that comes there for assistance. They go the extra mile, when it comes to the client walking in and needing assistant immediately. Because of the efficiency and the level commitment, I will be extending my volunteer service from receptionist to include counseling.

I have been a volunteer peer counselor at the Jesup GA branch for just over 5 years. This ministry is such an awesome blessing to so many. And, I would say not to just the clients, but as a volunteer & working w/the wonderful staff & others that make this ministry all come together is such a blessing from GOD! So many lives have been touched & changed through this ministry. I just continue to pray for God's blessings, guidance, & love to continue to fill the hearts of all those involved in this great ministry. May every client that enters through the doors of any pregnancy center anywhere feel the presence of God's Holy Spirit & the Love that only He can give, & may they always turn to Him, rest assured in His peace, & always choose to support LIFE, life of that precious little baby inside their womb! Becoming a volunteer with this ministry has been just an awesome experience for me, & I love doing what I do.

I have been a receptionist at Care Net Pregnancy Center for the past 5 years. I am amazed at the organization of this center. In serving many clients of different ages, and with varying needs, the staff here is able to provide assistance physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Registered nurses and trained counselors do a wonderful job working with individual needs and circumstances.
The Earn While You Learn program teaches mothers-to-be as well as mothers with young children how to care for and lovingly guide their children as they grow. Mommy dollars are earned as this program is followed. With these printed "dollars" clients can purchase maternity clothes, children's clothes, baby food, diapers, and various kinds of baby needs and equipment. In addition to providing for these needs, the center has great expertise and connections for directing clients for further help in the community. The Braveheart Program ministers to the students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades in Glynn County. These students are encouraged to remain sexually pure until marriage. The girls are able to attend a father/daughter purity ball, and are given the opportunity to sign a purity pledge.
I am thankful to be a part of such a well-run, successful, faith-based program. Marsha Smith

I have been a supporter of Care Net for 5 years. They do an incredible job of ministering to women in our community without judgement. A lot of times "pro-life" means a sole focus on keeping women from having abortions without providing any reasonable alternatives. Care Net takes care of the entire scope of the problem. From helping people make wise decisions about their sexuality to teaching parenting skills and providing baby supplies they see the whole problem and do their best to provide a whole solution. I am proud to support the ministry of Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia.

I have volunteered at Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia for nearly ten years. The staff and volunteers are very faithful to promote the sanctity of human life and sexual purity. I believe this mission to be great stewards of the support given by their donors. Compassionate and sincere care is given to every client served and I am blessed to play a small role in the mission of Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia. I would also vouch for and testify that the executive director and leadership of this organization is of the highest caliber of integrity.

Care Net is a valuable ministry to the community. It has significant impact on many lives of the people served. CareNet is an organization that is like "Jimmy Stewart" in the classic movie, "A Wonderful Life." It is impossible to describe what our community would be like without Care Net.

I am a former board chairman and currently serve on the advisory board. CareNet Pregnancy Center of Coastal GA is led tirelessly and effectively by Executuve Director, Patrick K. Eades. Patrick and his staff and volunteers work diligently to inform abortion-minded clients that they can make the choice to choose life. Hundreds of lives have been saved, and many women won't have to deal with the guilt and shame they would have felt had they aborted their child. The staff and volunteers also present the Gospel to the unsaved and have won many souls for Jesus Christ.

This ministry is truly an example of what the Christian life is all about.

Awesome ministry that God has orchestrated to help others for free. I was helped with choosing life for my Destiny, received counseling, and given Godly great advice. Carenet gave much support to me, my child, and family. I highly recommend this ministry to anyone who needs help financially & mentally, because they truly helped Me and my family with this and much more.

As a donor to the Care Net Pregnancy Center I am thankful for the work they do everyday to make a difference in the lives of families in Southeast Georgia. Not only do they speak truth into the women with unplanned pregnancies but help families with parenting skills and the clients earn mommy dollars for items such as diaper, baby clothes and even cribs when available.

CareNet is a place that is full of love. From the moment you walk in they are Jesus with skin on. They help you in any way they can be it spiritually, physically, or financially. Spiritually they offer you a Bible. They offer devotionals and they pray for you and with you if you want. Physically they provide pregnancy test and ultrasounds and even ginger capsules to help with nausea. Financially they help with babies food, formula, clothes, cribs, highchairs, anything you could possibly need for you or the baby. More importantly they make you feel like you're earning it yourself just by taking the time to learn more about your pregnancy and your baby. I know that CareNet has been a haven for of help for me. They treat you like that on family and they make sure you're taken care of. I came to CareNet last year. Shortly into my pregnancy I had a miscarriage. They prayed for me anytime I needed their support and checked up on me. I am pregnant again and I am with CareNet again. They are a Godsend and I love them

I found that through volunteering with this wonderful organization I was blessed even more with friends and fellowship of like believers. Having the blessing of being a possitive role model for clients that come to our organization looking for help is just a tiny part. A lot of our clients come looking for material services but end up being blessed with a safe haven of love and nurturing mixed in. As with any client that comes in there is so much more that needs to be addressed than just material needs. In addressing the needs of why they ended up there in the first place we can help them move on with better lifestyle choices as well as encouraging them spiritually to get back into church or recieving Jesus for the first time.

I have been involved with Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia for many years as a board member, and my wife volunteers at the center each week.

I am truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful ministry. The center is directed by a great man of God who has been the executive director for many years and who has a passion for saving the unborn and the unsaved. The sanctity of human life is something that the center emphasizes each and every day, and the caring staff have saved many unborn babies from the ravages of abortion. Of great importance is the fact that the center's personnel also present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to many of the unsaved clients who come to the center, and many of them have made eternity-altering decisions to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

When I contribute my time and resources to the Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia, I KNOW that my contributions will go toward life changing activities, and I don't believe I could invest in a more worthwhile cause.

I was looking for a way to give back to our community when I found out about this agency. I have been volunteering as a counselor once per week for approximately six years. The work that is being done here is heart-warming, rewarding, and definitely giving back to the community and the world at large. Make no mistake, it can often be heart-breaking when you are counseling an 11-year old who comes in for a pregnancy test because she had been raped by her father or a close male relative. How can anyone deal with something so horrific? Imagine, standing in the shoes of that 11-year old or a 14 or 15-year old teenager living this nightmare? It gives my life purpose to be able to be of assistance to these young ladies. You feel like it is worth every heartache you feel as you listen to their stories, because your end goal is to help enable them going forward, to be able to live a healthy, self-confident, and productive life after such trauma. Further, we equip them with accurate information with which they can make informed decisions. As adults we are responsible for protecting and nurturing our children no matter whose they are. It takes special agencies such as our Care Net Pregnancy Center of Coastal Georgia, to be able to do this work on a daily basis. It is all worth it when these young ladies come back later with genuine smiles and hugs for you to say thanks for saving their lives.

One year after seeking advice from counselors at our local CareNet in dealing with a family situation, I started volunteering a few hours each week. The staff was compassionate and caring which made me want to become a part of their staff to help them continue their mission. Now, 8 years later, I have seen the Lord work in numerous situations and lives. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful service in our community!
