The Pregnancy Centre’s annual Baby Bottle Campaign is virtual once again! 

The pandemic has been hard on all of us, but it has been especially difficult for pregnant women and parents of newborns.  Because of your support, the Pregnancy Centre has been able to remain operational, week after week, providing essential emotional support and practical assistance to women and men who are feeling incredibly overwhelmed and anxious during this time.  And your help is essential, too!

Your support of our virtual Baby Bottle Campaign this year ensures that the Pregnancy Centre can continue serving our community throughout this pandemic – and beyond.  Thank you!

We are unable to distribute the hardcopy of the Word Among Us but will be able to use the Online Meditations.
