Fill a baby bottle with coins. Your small change can make a big change for someone small.
If your church or school does not have a Mother & Child baby bottle fundraiser, you can do your own baby bottle drive. Buy a few bottles at a variety store, share them with friends. Turn in the filled bottles directly to Mother & Child and tour the center. A well-filled bottle can buy a week’s worth of baby formula.
