Senior Projects Bless the Pregnancy Care Center

Brittany Rea, a senior from Columbus East High School, decided to incorporate the Pregnancy Care Center into her Senior Project and learned how to crochet. She made 100 crocheted baby hats with the help of her family and mentor. Her parents and grandparents helped her with purchasing the materials needed to crochet the hats and she began working on them last May. She has donated all the hats to the Pregnancy Care Center. Judy Snow, Bartholomew County Center Director says, “they will be used in the layettes and/or distributed to mommy's to help keep their babies warm.”

Another senior from Columbus East, Ashton Setser, also included the PCC into her Senior Project. She hosted a Holiday Bazaar at Otter Creek Golf Course with a percentage of sales from her many vendors going to the PCC. Vendors including Thirty-One Gifts, Jafra Makeup, Silpada Designs Jewlery, Ribbonz & Curlz, Uniquely Yours by Robin Arnold, Hot Glass Cool Jewlery by Lori Erfmeier, Tastefully Simple and Handbags by Katie Miller were there to showcase their products. Aston has a connection with the PCC, which is why she chose us for her project. She wanted to personally help the PCC because her family members have received help in the past.

Many thanks to Brittany and Ashton for blessing the Pregnancy Care Center!

Merry Christmas

From our Pregnancy Care Center family to yours, have a true and meaningful Christmas!

Selfless Generosity

This year when asked by her grandparents what she would like for Christmas, Hannah McCord, an eighth grader at Central Middle School simply said “to go shopping for the Pregnancy Care Center.” Hannah had decided she did not want her grandparents on either side of the family to buy her Christmas gifts but instead to take the money they would have spent and go shopping for the PCC. And that is just what they did. Hannah along with her grandparents went shopping for items to donate to the PCC including diapers, wipes, lotion, sleepers, onesies and much more. Judy Snow, Bartholomew County Center Director said, “Hannah has given the PCC a wonderful gift. I think Hannah has given her family a wonderful gift also, in displaying such selfless generosity in her character.”

Terrace Lake Community Church

This year Terrace Lake Community Church will bless various ministries in the Columbus area during the holidays and the Pregnancy Care Center is among those ministries. Terrace Lake’s Children’s Ministry will be raising awareness and money to go towards furthering the mission of the Pregnancy Care Center. To help reach their goals they have created Christmas wreaths out of diapers and beautifully decorated a baby themed Christmas tree. Thank you Terrace Lake Community Church for your continued support!

Indian Creek Baby Shower

December 2nd will be a day to remember for 30 women who were overwhelmed by the generosity of families from Indiana Creek Christian Church. For the past four years ICCC has thrown a baby shower for clients of local pregnancy centers including the Pregnancy Care Center in Shelbyville. Nine clients from Shelbyville were blessed with new car seats, diapers, baby cloths and much more. Enola Joplin, Shelby County Center Director said, “It is truly like an Oprah Giveaway! They just kept pouring the gifts on each client.” Not only were there gifts but the church goes all out by providing food, cake and punch. They really aim to make the girls feel special and give them a real baby shower.
