Our annual fundraiser is a simple ask. Parishioners fill baby bottles with spare change which they return after a few weeks to their parish. This has always been our most successful fundraiser.
It begins with awesome members of our Chapter taking leadership roles! Lynda and Brock Rittenhouse, Kathy and Tim Ryan and the always moving, Monica Zwick led this year's successful event. They plan the fundraiser thinking of every detail. From asking our members to be coordinators at their own church or one near them, all the way to scheduling Brinks to pick up bags upon bags of coin for delivery to a bank. They never let us down because they think of everything!
Members look forward every year to come together to "dump" baby bottles on their Sunday afternoons in February. This year was special because we could actually see most of our members smiles :) It is wonderful hearing all of the coin being emptied and guessing at how much is in each bottle.
Our appreciation includes the support of our Spiritual Advisor Bishop Kevin Rhoades, the parish pastors and office staff, who allow us to work through them. The generous donors who take a bottle and bring it back, and our own members along with their family members serving this endeavor keeps our mission moving forward.
