Baby Bottle Campaign

Ask your church or organization leadership to participate in an OFW, Help for Families Baby Bottle Campaign. Each member or family takes a baby bottle to fill with spare change and then returns the baby bottle 2-4 weeks later. It is a simple process of taking delivery of empty bottles, distributing to your group and returning the bottles to OFW, Help for Families at the end of the agreed upon time. This has been a tremendously successful fundraiser for OFW, Help for Families and is a wonderfully simple way for people to give. This fundraiser can be done any time of the year.

We are happy to assist in kicking off a baby bottle campaign by speaking at your kickoff!

Fundraising/Donation Events

Consider hosting a fundraising event or donation drive on behalf of Options for Women, Help for Families. We are happy to partner with you and your congregation/organization to promote the ministry.

Be creative and fun! Some examples that groups have done are diaper/wipe drives, food collection drives, baby boutique item drives and other groups have provided gift bags for our moms on Mother’s Day and Christmas. 

All gifts are blessings and truly appreciated by those who receive them!
