After more than a two-and-a-half year wait, Carolina Family Planning Centers will have its own home in Hartsville.
?It has been a labor of love,? said Tammy Robinson, CFPC executive director. ?It?s very exciting and it could not have happened without all the support we?ve received from area churches and the hard work of all the volunteers. I can?t even begin to imagine how much just the labor would have cost.?
CFPC?s will dedicate and show off its new Hartsville office, located at2162 S. Fifth Street, at an open house Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The public is invited.
The organization first began in January 2010, offering assistance to both women and men through unplanned pregnancies. It promotes alternatives to abortion and offerings counseling, parenting skills classes and training, and abstinence education. CFPC also has offices inDarlingtonand Dillon.
Working in conjunction with local churches, Hartsville Interfaith Ministries, the Pee Dee Coalition, and theDurantCenter, the CFPC has served more than 200 families.
Robinson has been with the organization since it first opened, sharing the facilities of the Free Medical of Darlington County onCarolina Avenue. Its office hours were two mornings a week and much of their work was done by meeting with clients at alternative locations.
All that will change come Saturday. The new office, which CFPC will rent, has two counseling rooms, office and storage space, a training room and a full kitchen. It will also have a special store where clients can uses vouchers they obtain by completing classes to purchase items.
?This is going to allow us to do so many more things,? said Robinson. ?Along with parenting classes, we will also have a men?s mentoring class, a women?s mentoring class and a couponing class.?
CFPC?s new office hours are will be Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Robinson said she hopes the Hartsville office can serve as a model for Dillon andDarlingtonoffices and any other offices that may be added. She saidChesterfieldCountyis presently looking at opening a CFPC office.
