We’re making a difference - the pro-life movement is gaining momentum! One reason is the unconditional love and support shown by pregnancy centers across the country.
Pregnancy center workers and volunteers are on the front-line fighting for each and every life - and doing it with love. So show your support by partnering with a pregnancy center in your own community. Find out where there is a need and see what you can do to help!

PLAN AND PREP
| Identify a pregnancy center in your area. Click here to see if there is one nearby or do an internet search. |
| Contact the center's director and find out how your chapter can be helpful. Perhaps they need your chapter to organize a diaper or formula drive or provide volunteers for an upcoming event or fundraiser. |
| Report back to your members and discuss your project. |
| Make a detailed plan which includes realistic goals, a list of jobs/assignments and deadlines. |
| Recruit others to join! When folks see what you’re trying to accomplish, they will be inspired to help! The following is a suggested plan for a Diaper/Formula Drive. |
DIAPER/FORMULA DRIVE
| Check with your pregnancy center before you get started to get helpful details. Pick a project name. |
| Identify churches and/or civic groups who are supportive of the prolife movement. |
| Create a letter describing your project – ask if they would be willing to be a collection point. |
| Prepare a flyer. |
| Prepare collection boxes. Painting or covering with pink and blue is a great idea! Add signage about your project. |
| Deliver boxes and flyers to participating churches/locations. Make sure they know when you will return for pick up. |
| Provide a sample bulletin insert/announcement. |
| On collection day(s), return to collection point to gather donations. Some churches may be willing to leave collection boxes out on a long-term basis, so be sure to ask. |
| Keep track of donations collected – number of diapers/formula. |
| Deliver your donations to the pregnancy center. |
| Send a thank you note to the church/group. |
| Have fun and take lots of pictures throughout your project. Make sure you have a designated “photographer” so that you end up with good shots for Facebook and Twitter and to email to our national team. |
| Send us an email report with photos: [email protected] |
FOLLOW-UP
| Thank your members for participating in this project – a phone call or email is a great idea! |

| If your project attracts new people who are not yet members, ask them to join your chapter! |
| Encourage everyone to visit www.patriotvoices.com and sign up for email updates. |
| Ask folks to get connected on our social networking channels. |
| Add your members/volunteers to our network using this grassroots tool. |
