What We Do

Harbor Lights Pregnancy and Information Center mission: "To provide valid pregnancy and parental choices, educational support, and spiritual support for the development of healthier children, families, and communities."

​

As an independent, HIPPA compliant facility, we provide free supportive services to mothers, fathers, and family caregivers of Iosco and surrounding counties.  Our free services are provided through pregnancy and life!

​

We know that choices during an unplanned, and sometimes a planned pregnancy are difficult. We offer a caring, non-judgmental and confidential environment for you to explore your options. You may feel anxious and overwhelmed.  However, you do not have to walk through this journey alone. We care and we can help!
