Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre launches Baby Bottle Campaign online

May 22, 2020 | 11:46 AM

The Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre has launched an online fundraiser aimed at helping women facing an unplanned pregnancy.

The organization’s Baby Bottle Campaign can be found at canadahelps.org. Due to Covid-19, officials note the Centre has had to cancel many events and fundraisers and modify one of their largest fundraisers to an online platform this year.

Every dollar donated is anticipated to provide material supports and/or access to much needed support and education to those facing an unplanned pregnancy. The campaign runs until Father’s Day.

The Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre provides compassionate support and education to individuals and families impacted by unexpected pregnancy and its effects. All CAPCC programs and services are free, confidential, and offered in a safe and non-judgmental environment regardless of age, gender, race, or religion.

Women, men, and families are able to access a variety of support services within the Red Deer, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, Drumheller, and Stettler communities such as, pregnancy tests, pregnancy options counselling, male mentorship, baby and maternity clothing, post-abortion support, Steps to Sexual Health program, parenting support, and community resources.
