Host a Baby Bottle Campaign |
|
A Baby Bottle Campaign is a fundraiser that directly supports our pro-life ministry. Our annual goal is to raise $60,000 to fund our medical services facility, Options@328, and our two material resource centers for the current fiscal year!
Did you know our Options@328 is located on Howard Street in downtown Baltimore right next door to a national abortion provider?
We serve women and families from all walks of life, including those underserved by society: the uninsured, the homeless, the addicted, the abused, the trafficked, and the undocumented. Your support helps us to protect the physical, emotional, and spiritual lives of women and their unborn children. We provide all clients with free pregnancy testing, sonograms, gospel truths, gentle words, prayer, and access to resources that support the choice for life! Please help us continue our ministry.
We are fully funded by the support of churches, foundations, and individuals. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and gifts are 100% tax deductible.
Please consider hosting a Baby Bottle Campaign to fund our local, non-political, Christian pro-life ministry.

There are three ways to host a Bottle Campaign:
-
(Disinfected) Baby Bottles are dropped off to your church, then distributed to your members. Bottles are taken home and filled with cash, checks, and coins. After a designated time (usually one month (but can be shorter or longer), the bottles are returned to church. Call CPC to arrange for pick up of the baby bottles at a time convenient to you.
-
Giving Envelopes are provided to your church. Just tell us how many you need and hand them out or place them at a location where they are accessible. Supporters can mail their gift directly to CPC or put them in your collection basket. If mailing a donation to CPC, please send to:
Center for Pregnancy Concerns
328 N. Howard Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
-
Virtual Baby Bottle Campaign hosted online. CPC provides the church with a general online giving donation page link https://bit.ly/BabyBottleCampaignCPC or a customized donation page can be created*. You share this information on your church website and in your e-bulletins to invite participation in this giving campaign.
Please let us know how many bottles or giving envelopes you would like so we can arrange for delivery.

The Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns is a locally organized and funded volunteer ministry demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ by providing abortion alternatives to women who find themselves in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy. We service clients by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We also strive to provide accurate and complete information on prenatal development and abortion. We believe access to this information is needed in order to provide our clients with the facts, allowing them to make informed decisions. Ultimately, we desire to protect the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our clients and their unborn children. We also provide emotional support and resources to any woman who comes to us having had an abortion. We believe our ministry to these and all women is to share the love of Jesus Christ. |
