			Thank You! To all of you who generously responded to our recent plea for help…You’re amazing! In response to your giving, we can now keep our doors open through October. You heard our cry and gave sacrificially. Who know how many lives will be saved because of your continued commitment. God bless you! Bethany House Still Needs You! We’re not out of the woods yet. Three local maternity homes have closed in the past several months. We do not want Bethany House to join the ranks of these ministries. We know you don’t either. Help us keep the hope alive for pregnant young women by continuing to support Bethany House with your time, talent, and treasure.

			Baby Bottle Fundraiser Adopt a baby bottle bank to fill up with money to benefit the women and infants at Bethany House. This is a great activity for the entire family or business. We’d be happy to provide a bottle bank for you.
