# Event Details

- **Event Name**: CICADA Center Grand Opening
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 11:45 am
- **Event Description**: ? Join Us in Celebrating the CICADA Center — West Virginia’s First Reproductive Freedom Resource Center!

We are incredibly excited to announce the opening of the CICADA Center, a first-of-its-kind space in West Virginia dedicated to reproductive freedom, community care and support without judgment. WV FREE is honored to be partnering with St. John’s Episcopal Church of Charleston, a parish known for its longtime commitment to reproductive rights, to launch this brick-and-mortar program.

The CICADA (Compassionate*Informed*Caring*Accessible*Dignified*Autonomous) Center will offer:
✨ Free menstrual products, pregnancy tests, diapers, formula, baby supplies, pregnancy and bodily autonomy resources
✨ Compassionate reproductive information and referrals
✨ A safe, stigma-free environment for people to get support
✨ Trainings, community education, and reproductive justice programming
✨ A welcoming space where people can access resources with dignity

While we will have a partially stocked center on opening day, we’re asking our community to come together and donate menstrual products, pregnancy and baby supplies, self-care essentials, and other items that help our neighbors care for themselves and their families.

? As a thank-you, everyone who brings a donation will receive a meal ticket for a free brunch and juice bar, provided by Chef Jesse Lyons, Bren Pomponio and Lisa Smith at Mountain Juice!

We’ll also be hosting a silent auction to benefit the CICADA Center and help us sustain this vital work long-term. Enjoy community connection and a chance to learn more about the vision behind this powerful new resource.

-> CHILDCARE WILL BE PROVIDED DURING THE EVENT! <-

Together, we’re building something West Virginia has never had before — a community space rooted in care, autonomy, and freedom.

? Thank you for supporting this historic moment.
