Caring Network is the first step for women facing an unplanned pregnancy. We welcome women with unconditional love, counsel, and resources that offer the light of truth—changing hearts and saving lives. Over time our team has honed its skills, so that we bring the very best tools into the crisis of an unplanned pregnancy—the latest in ultrasound technology and pregnancy counselors skilled in intervention, addressing the complex issues that compel a mother to seek abortion as her answer. Caring Network was founded in 1981 by a group of DuPage County clergy and community leaders that had a dream—to save lives and rescue moms by empowering women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy to choose life. By providing women in crisis with emotional and spiritual support and practical help, this group of concerned Christians believed they could make a lasting difference in the lives of women and their families. This is how Caring Network was born. First came a hotline answered in a mechanic’s garage, soon after a storefront office in Villa Park. Over the years, other centers and critical services have been added until today, our counselors and medical team serve thousands of women and men each year in DuPage County and beyond. Although much has changed in the decades that Caring Network has been ministering to families in our community, our mission has remained steadfastly the same. Caring Network is still committed to serve Christ by loving women in need unconditionally and saving the lives of their children. God is our leader and provider. In 35 years of ministry, He has used us to save tens of thousands of lives!
