The money will be used to establish and develop the Soroptimist Programs Room at the Norfolk Pregnancy Centre which is a new service agency in Norfolk County for young women who are pregnant. We will assist with the initial expenses for furnishings, equipment and educational materials for the Soroptimist Programs Room where programs are offered to the young women seeking help.
