6th Annual Scavenger Hunt for Birthright - Love in Action

March, 2003 - Birthright is a pro-life pregnancy counselling service providing pre & post-natal support for young women and their babies. They do far more than simply counsel. Birthright assists young women (often teens) in rationally considering the pro-life options of their crisis pregnancy, encourages them to talk with their parents, and even accompanies them to talk with their parents when requested. They also partner with expectant mothers for doctors appointments and pre-natal classes as well as assisting them with post-natal supplies.

Birthright depends on the community to provide the many supplies which, in turn, are used to assist mothers and mothers-to-be. The annual Scavenger Hunt annually raises over 50% of Birthright's annual clothing needs and this all comes in one morning. Last year, 781 pounds of clothing were received at the Scavenger Hunt, as well as $1,456 in cash. This year, HWFAC has set a goal of 1,000 pounds of clothing, and $1,500 in cash. Please read the ad below and then call and register your church or agency for the 6th Annual Scavenger Hunt for Birthright. Come, experience the joy of giving to the pro-life community.
