Next coffee & donut Sunday = 18DEC (not on Christmas or New Year's Day)

Birthline is serving more and more moms and yet our volunteer base and donations have remained steady. We have served 1700 moms in the past year. This is an increase of 300 moms! We normally see moms multiple times as they can come every three months for material needs for their children. AND moms usually have multiple children! Our first quarter we served 465 moms and in October alone we have served 190 moms.
We need your help to adequately serve these moms who are choosing life and humbly coming to ask for our help. Can you help us support these moms and walk with them on their journey to choose life?
