Pregnancy Resource Clinic supports women through Maternity Closet 

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A local nonprofit is helping expecting mothers with baby clothing and necessities.

The Pregnancy Resource Center's Maternity Closet offers a new and gently used clothing giveaway to any pregnant women.

In the seven years it has run, community members donated clothing and funds to purchase them.

"We've never run out of maternity clothes, because of those generous contributions," Executive Director Libby Owens said.

The spring Maternity Closet ended Friday afternoon. Over 20 women visited the closet between Thursday and Friday and left with around 10 items each, which helped many of them save money on maternity clothes.

"That means that they don't have to worry about maybe the clothes that they need for work while they're pregnant or those extra outfits," she said. "We all know things are expensive, and especially maternity clothes are expensive."

The Maternity Closet will be open again on August 7th and 8th. Anyone interested in donating to the Pregnancy Resource Clinic can visit its website.

"We do appreciate gently used maternity clothes," Owens said. "All sizes are needed."
