The Nurturing Network – An international charitable organization founded by Mary Cunningham Agee in 1985 following the loss of her first child in a mid-trimester miscarriage. Setting politics and rhetoric aside, volunteer members provide practical, life-saving services to women facing the crisis of an unplanned pregnancy. What began as a modest, grassroots attempt to marshal the energy and talent of a few caring friends has blossomed over the years into a powerful Network of over 42,000 dedicated volunteers in all 50 states and 25 nations. Nearly 16,000 mothers and children have been served through this compassionate Network of hope.
