Bottles for Life Thank You

Hello Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Family!

Thank you so much for all of the ways you continue to join with us at PDHC in helping women, babies and families! Thank you for walking with us to love, serve and point them to Jesus. We are so grateful you participated again in our Mother’s Day – Father’s Day Bottles for Life campaign. This year we had about 20 different churches throughout Franklin and Fairfield Counties participate and brought in many bottles and an estimated 2,000 pounds of coin! In case you ever wondered how we process the donations we receive, we take all of the bottles received, remove the cash and checks, sift through the coin and pull out all of the non-coin items (we surprisingly get a lot of other items—buttons, tokens, screws, thimbles, keychains, batteries, etc!). We then put the coin in bank bags, organized by church, and deposit it in manageable amounts into the bank coin machines. These machines tally the totals as we go and we can then deposit amounts by church. Thankfully we don’t need to roll the coins—in fact, we actually have to unroll the coins.

Thank you for your generous gift of $2,388.39! Just to give you an idea of what this donation could do—It is enough to:

  • Give 10 life-saving ultrasounds
  • Empower 10 moms/dads through parenting education and baby boutique shopping visits
  • Provide a handful of personalized pregnancy tests and consultations

Praise the Lord! THANK YOU so much for your support and helping to make this possible! 

Our PDHC staff is grateful for YOUR partnership and thankful that together we can impact generations for Christ through the legacy of life!

We want all of you to know what a difference your gifts make! Please pass along our gratefulness!

Together for LIFE,
Anne Marie Weakley
