Helping a Friend Do you have a friend who may be pregnant and in need of help? If so, she is so fortunate to have a friend like you who cares so much. If she is scared and overwhelmed by a possible pregnancy, encourage her to come to Birthright to verify her pregnancy with a free pregnancy test. You may want to offer to come with her for additional support. Together, we can explore all of her options. Encourage your friend to get all of the information she needs to make the decision that is right for her and her unborn baby. It is important that she makes a decision that she can live with. Remember, all of our services are free and confidential. Looking for Volunteers The Sioux Falls office is currently looking for volunteers. Birthright welcomes volunteers who believe firmly in the Birthright philosophy and have a sincere desire to help pregnant women. Providing emotional support and practical help to women is always the first priority of Birthright volunteers. Volunteers handle a variety of phone calls, including those from girls and women who are overwhelmed about being pregnant or fear they may be pregnant. Volunteers also help women who come to the office, whether for a free pregnancy test, referrals and information or for a welcoming friend. Some volunteers choose to help in other ways, such as sorting maternity and baby clothes, cleaning the office or helping with presentations to school and community groups about Birthright and its services. Sioux Falls Birthright turned 48 The Sioux Falls Birthright celebrated 49 years of service in our community in January 2022. Birthright has been making an impact in Southeastern South Dakota by providing free pregnancy tests and pregnancy support since 1973.
