If you have the opputunity to refer someone to a pro-life organization, you can refer them to Cornerstone or Skagit Valley Pregnancy Care Center as appropriate based on their situation and needs.
The SV Pregnancy Care Center is just three blocks away at 110 N 15th St, Mount Vernon. Stop by and learn about their operation and services so you know how to advise those willing to consider alternatives. Make sure you tell potential clients they offer free ultrasounds!

Local events
Sidewalk Outreach Orientation with Love Life
Wednesday, November 19th
Love Life has an outreach ministry that works at the Bellingham PP. Irene and Tami have gone up there and observed how they do things and report that their method is incredibly effective. They are doing an orientation next Wed, 19 Nov from 9-10:30, where we can observe them in action. I have signed up and was told I can bring other members of our team. If you would like to carpool, I can pick you up at Cornerstone at 8 am.
Address: 1326 N Garden St Bellingham, WA 98225, US
Time: 9:00 AM
Special Community Outreach, Skagit Regional Health
Tuesday, November 25th
We are planning a couple special events with the goal of informing the public that abortions in Mount Vernon do not just happen at Planned Parenthood. We found out in January that Skagit Valley Hospital had started doing abortions, we heard at the residency clinic on 13th. Then, just before this past campaign started, we encountered a mother with an abortion appointment at the Skagit Regional Health clinic at Station Square (behind Wendy’s and 7-Eleven at the Kincaid exit of I-5). So now we know of two other facilities providing abortions within a few miles of our vigil location! By drilling down on their websites it clearly states that they provide both surgical and chemical (pill) abortions.
The general public needs to know this! So we are organizing outreach events on the sidewalks outside these facilities with the goal of letting the community know they are providing abortions, then the public can decide if they want to continue getting care there. In order to get the word out to as many people as possible I think it is important to have a six-hour presence on each day of the special events (see below, 25 Nov and 19 Dec). We will have 1.5 hour shifts; 9-10:30, 10:30-noon, noon-1:30, and 1:30-3. See the event dates below. Email, text and call me to sign up for a shift. Let’s strive for 4 people per shift!
