CHARLOTTE — MiraVia’s Outreach Center has moved to a new, bigger location on Tyvola Road in Charlotte. With the much-needed extra space to store donations, this new location can now serve 25% more pregnant women in the community than before.
In 1994, MiraVia opened a modest home on Weona Avenue to provide free residential services to pregnant women and their children. In 2006, this home was converted into an Outreach Center. During those 28 years, MiraVia has served more than 11,000 mothers and children.
In addition, their college residence, located on Belmont Abbey College campus, continues to be a safe haven and source of hope to pregnant college students.
Opened in 2012, this innovative program empowers women to choose life for their children and enables them to thrive as mothers while they achieve their educational and professional goals.
The new MiraVia Outreach Center’s address is 810 Tyvola Road, Suite 100, Charlotte, N.C. 28217.
