Pregnancy resource center expands to Paragould
Pregnancy resource center expands to Paragould By Miranda Reynolds | January 20, 2021 at 5:00 PM CST - Updated January 21 at 6:21 AM
PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - A pregnancy resource center in Jonesboro serves more than 500 clients a year and hope by expanding their services to Paragould, theyâll serve even more.
Options on Main offers the same, free services at their new center, Options in Paragould. Monday marked their first day to open.
âIt was very exciting. My girls that work here are very excited to be able to serve the community,â said Valerie Long, the executive director.
I ll just go for it : Focusing on online selling I barely used Etsy at all before the pandemic, said Long, whose Etsy site is called ValAndViolet. But when the art shows shut down, I was in a panic and decided, Hey, I ll just go for it and started posting on Etsy and Instagram (which directs traffic to the Etsy site).
It paid off. So far this year, Long has received 118 Etsy orders, up from 17 she received during the same period in 2019. For me, it s been wildly successful in terms of a way to solve a problem, said Long, who teaches art at Centennial High School.
