Summary
We partner with pregnancy resource centers across the country who are the immediate conduit for the love, compassion, and action that we believe God calls us to. Equipped with their very own mobile medical units, affectionately called "Stork Buses," these centers are able to bring the vital medical care of free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds right to the women who need them most.
Along with equipping centers for mobile medical ministry, we offer a number of counseling and consulting services in hopes of enabling them to more efficiently and effectively serve their unique communities.

History
It all started in the Bronx, with one van that inspired some visionary questions:
What if there was a way to reach abortion-vulnerable women right where they are, right where they live and work? What if there were people who loved these women enough to invest their time in providing the care and resources needed to truly give them the freedom to choose?
That would revolutionize what it means to be pro-life.
Here at Save the Storks, those are the "what ifs" that we want to make reality. Beginning in 2012, we have realized this mission by partnering with Pregnancy Resource Centers all across America, and our prayerful hope is that we've only just begun.
