Summary
We partner with pregnancy resource centers across the country who are the immediate conduit for the love, compassion, and action that we believe God calls us to. Equipped with their very own mobile medical units, affectionately called "Stork Buses," these centers are able to bring the vital medical care of free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds right to the women who need them most.
Along with equipping centers for mobile medical ministry, we offer a number of counseling and consulting services in hopes of enabling them to more efficiently and effectively serve their unique communities.

Purpose
We want women to know that they are not alone; we're here for them.
When we empower women with compassion, education and holistic care, we not only empower them to choose a better life for themselves and their children, we create a culture that respects and values every life.
Mission statement
Our mission is to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.
Statement of faith
We adhere to the statement of faith that is expressed in the Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
We confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and we look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

History
It all started in the Bronx, with one van that inspired some visionary questions:
What if there was a way to reach abortion-vulnerable women right where they are, right where they live and work? What if there were people who loved these women enough to invest their time in providing the care and resources needed to truly give them the freedom to choose?
That would revolutionize what it means to be pro-life.
Here at Save the Storks, those are the "what ifs" that we want to make reality. Beginning in 2012, we have realized this mission by partnering with Pregnancy Resource Centers all across America, and our prayerful hope is that we've only just begun.
