Partnering With Collage To Serve Our Community

At Collage, we believe deep down that there is beauty and value in everyone. Often times though, we have a hard time seeing that beauty. Perhaps it’s buried under the rubble of past decisions or circumstances that life has handed us. But no matter how badly we’ve been broken and tarnished, the fact is, beauty remains, waiting to be uncovered.

This belief is what drives us to serve our community, and this belief is why others partner with us, allowing us to provide all of our services at no charge to those who need our help. We can’t do it alone. Any successful team thrives on the talents of many, and though we have a very gifted staff, it is your belief in what we do and your partnership that make it all happen.

As we said, a successful team thrives on the talents of many. We want to invite you to use your talents to help Collage serve our community. Now we don’t expect each of you to come in and answer calls from women who are struggling with an unexpected pregnancy, or to perform STD testing. We understand those things require very specific skill sets. But there are other ways you can use your talents to make a difference.

Partnering With Collage Financially

Collage is a non-profit organization that relies on the generous support of our donors to be able to provide a variety of services, such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD testing and treatment and after abortion care to our communities in both Kearney and Grand Island. If you believe in our mission, perhaps a financial partnership is something you would consider.

Partnering With Collage By Providing Material Goods

Some of our supporters enjoy providing material assistance through in-kind gifts to Collage. This allows us to provide timely and much needed support to our clients. We maintain a “Wish List” of specific items that have been requested by clients or are items we use on a regular basis. For more information about partnering with us in this way please visit our In-Kind Gift page on our website.

Partnering With Collage Through Volunteering

We also have friends who partner with us by volunteering at Collage. Not all of our volunteers sit in a room with a client, though if that is something you’re interested in we’d love to talk. The best way to get involved through volunteering is to call the office, either in Kearney or Grand Island, and set up a time to come in and pick up a volunteer application. This will allow us to determine if we have any current opportunities available that are a good fit for you.

Partnering With Collage By Joining The Team

At Collage we have a team of wonderful people committed to finding beauty in the unexpected. While it’s not often we have a job opening, occasionally one of our team moves on to pursue other opportunities, whether that be another position, more time with family or a move out of town. When we do have an opening, we post that on our website. So if you’re interested in working at Collage feel free to check there for any opportunities.

We really couldn’t do what we do without the support of our community and those who also believe that there is beauty and value in everyone, sometimes just waiting to be discovered. If you believe that and you’re interested in getting involved with Collage in any of these ways, please feel free to click on the relevant heading for more info or give us a call at either location.

Understanding Abortion Pills: What to Know

July 21, 2026

If you're considering the abortion pill, knowing what it actually involves is an important first step as you weigh your decision. Schedule a free, confidential appointment at Collage to talk through your questions and get accurate information at no cost. How the Abortion Pill Works The abortion pill uses two drugs taken at different times. Mifepristone , the first, blocks progesterone, a hormone the body needs to maintain a pregnancy. Without it, the pregnancy stops developing. The second drug, misoprostol , causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Risks and Side Effects Cramping and bleeding are expected parts of the process. Additional side effects can include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches. Complications include: Incomplete abortion (pregnancy tissue remaining in the uterus) Heavy bleeding that does not stop Infection Without in-person medical care, distinguishing normal symptoms from those requiring urgent attention is difficult. Why Gestational Age and Pregnancy Location Matter The FDA approved the abortion pill through 10 weeks of gestation. It is important to know how far along you are for your health and safety as you move through making your next decisions. A limited OB ultrasound also screens for ectopic pregnancy , a pregnancy outside the uterus that the abortion pill cannot treat and requires urgent care. A positive test alone does not rule out an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage , since hCG can remain elevated after pregnancy loss.

Schedule your free appointment today. Medical Abortion Medical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, ends a pregnancy by using two drugs taken at different times. The first pill, mifepristone, works by blocking progesterone and causes the embryo’s death. The second drug, called misoprostol, is usually taken a day or two after and causes the uterus to contract, expelling the pregnancy tissue through cramping and bleeding. Common side effects can include bleeding and cramping, bleeding with blood clots, and a low-grade fever. Medical abortion is only approved through ten weeks of gestation by the FDA . Follow-up care is typically recommended after a medical abortion to make sure the process is complete. Surgical Abortion Surgical abortion terminates a pregnancy in a clinic or medical setting and involves removing pregnancy tissue from the uterus through a suction device or a tool called a curette. This can also be called dilation and evacuation or dilation and curettage . Common side effects of surgical abortions are bleeding and cramps. You may also have a late or early period as your uterus has to build a new lining after the procedure. What Are The Risks Of Abortion? Medical and surgical abortion both have possible risks that you should be aware of. Some women may also experience emotional responses afterward. Complications that can arise from abortion are: Infection. Scar tissue on the uterine wall, known as Asherman's syndrome . Heavy bleeding that may not stop. Diarrhea and digestive pain. An incomplete abortion. Confirm Your Pregnancy With An Ultrasound Before making a pregnancy decision, it is important to verify your pregnancy with an ultrasound. An ultrasound provides important medical details such as how far along you are, the location of the pregnancy, and whether a heartbeat is detected. These details are important since the abortion pill is not FDA-approved for over ten weeks, and it also rules out ectopic pregnancy, which requires urgent medical attention. As many as 26% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage, and you can still get a positive pregnancy test result for days or weeks after a miscarriage because it takes time for hCG to leave the body. An ultrasound will confirm whether or not you have miscarried. We provide no-cost pregnancy services at our center, including limited OB ultrasounds, so you can get informed about your pregnancy and options.
