Partnering With Collage To Serve Our Community

February 2, 2015

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.

If your girlfriend is facing an unexpected pregnancy and considering the abortion pill, you're probably wondering about costs and whether insurance will cover it. Before considering the abortion pill, it’s vital that your girlfriend receives an ultrasound. We offer these at no cost with no insurance necessary. She can schedule a free, confidential appointment online at Collage. Can Your Insurance Cover Her? Health insurance covers the policyholder and enrolled dependents. A girlfriend typically isn't a covered dependent on your plan, which means your insurance generally won't pay for her medical care. The exception is if she's been added to your plan as a domestic partner and your employer allows that. Additionally, you may be able to extend insurance coverage to her after marriage if your policy allows this as a qualifying event. However, the chances of insurance covering an elective abortion are unlikely. What About Her Own Insurance in Nebraska? Under Nebraska law , standard health insurance plans in the state cannot cover elective abortion unless the insured purchases a separate abortion rider. Medicaid in Nebraska covers abortion only in limited circumstances. In most cases, the abortion pill in Nebraska will be an out-of-pocket cost. What She Should Know About the Drug The abortion pill uses two drugs. The first, mifepristone , blocks progesterone, a hormone required to sustain the pregnancy. The second, misoprostol , taken a day or two later, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. The FDA approves this drug regimen through 10 weeks of gestation. Nebraska law also requires that the abortion pill be prescribed and administered in person by a physician. Complications can include heavy bleeding, infection , incomplete abortion, and digestive system discomfort. If the drug does not fully end the pregnancy, a follow-up procedure might be required. Getting the Facts First A free ultrasound at Collage confirms your girlfriend’s gestational age, whether the pregnancy is in the uterus, and whether the pregnancy is progressing. An ectopic pregnancy (when the pregnancy implants outside the uterus) requires different medical treatment than abortion, and could be life-threatening if left untreated. An ultrasound can rule out this complication. Schedule a free, confidential appointment at Collage today.
