Maxxine Wright Pregnancy Outreach

Our Pregnancy Outreach program supports pregnant women and new mothers experiencing and/or at risk of experiencing homelessness, fleeing violence or experiencing other barriers to medical services in Surrey, Delta, Langley and Cloverdale. The Pregnancy Outreach team works alongside health and social service providers to support women accessing services that lead to healthy birth outcomes. 

Pregnancy Outreach provides non-judgmental, emotional, and practical support through advocacy, material donations, childcare support, meals, referrals, and other resources within the community. The program team includes support workers, peer support and a registered nurse.
