The first annual talent competition, Fallon's Got Talent, debuts Friday at 7 p.m. at the Churchill County High School Theater, and organizers are seeking a good crowd because proceeds will go to the Care Net Pregnancy Care Center of Churchill County.
Director DeLacy Trinidad said people might think the center only provides services to a select few within the community but that isn't true.
“We serve everybody. We serve anybody,” Trinidad said adding it doesn't matter what religion, age, color or financial situation. “There are people out there who are hurting who have a ton of income.”
Trinidad said CNPCC impacts everyone including those who do not use their services.
“It touches everybody. It doesn't matter if you are the pastor or the mayor,” Trinidad said. “I think it is important for the community to support us because we see their daughters and their mothers and their aunts and their families...I truly believe that it affects the whole community because that's who we see.”
The CNPCC offers free and confidential pregnancy tests and verification, option and lifestyle counseling, post abortion counseling and education, emergency baby items, an Earn While You Learn program that teaches life and parenting skills, a Sexual Integrity Initiative which promotes abstinence in local schools, plus resources and referrals for shelter, health, financial services and more.
“So many people are uninformed of their options,” Trinidad said. “There so many different areas they can go. A lot of people don't know about the services that are out there.”
CNPCC does not receive any grant or federal funding and relies completely on fund raising.
“We really count on the fund drives, and we really count on the hearts of people,” Trinidad said.
Trinidad hopes the community will consider attending the talent competition because with those funds the CNPCC can help the community.
“We help people who are hurting,” Trinidad said. “We don't judge anybody who walks through that door. They're hurting and they just need somebody to talk to.”
CNPCC is located at 75 N. Ada St. 423-4357 (HELP).
