Did you know in 2009, the Pregnancy Care Center's Heart for Change Baby Bottle Campaign raised $71,000 for our prevention, intervention and healing services in south central Indiana? Our goal is to raise another $64,000 in 2010 through this fundraiser. Recently, our Administrative Assistant and Baby Bottle Coordinator, Abby Glasser, answered the door to receive a palate of more than 2,000 new baby bottles. She has them ready to be sent out to area churches.
If you're not sure what the Heart for Change campaign is or how it works, here are the basics:
1. Pregnancy Care Center supplies your church with all the baby bottles you need. (Average is one per adult). You can pick them up at one of our centers or we can deliver them to your church. The members of your congregation then take between 3-6 weeks to fill their baby bottle with spare change, cash and/or checks. At the conclusion of the campaign, the PCC will pick up the bottles, empty the change and communicate how much was collected back to your church.
2. Each bottle contains an insert that explains the purpose of the bottles and how the money raised will benefit the Pregnancy Care Center ministry. It also contains the due date of when the bottles should be returned to the church. In addition, we have bulletin inserts and announcements we can email to your church secretary to help with your promotion efforts.
3. Pregnancy Care Center staff members are always available to come to your church to share about the ministry whether in Sunday School classes or during a church service. Please call Teresa Russell toll free at 866-510-5067 to schedule a speaker.
The Heart for Change Baby Bottle Campaign is a great way to involve your church in supporting local missions. It's easy to do and anyone of any age can participate. To sign up for a baby bottle campaign at your church or for more information, give Abby a call (toll free) at 866-510-5067. We have lots of bottles ready and waiting to go to your church. Call today!
