The bottles come back when each church can see its own number
A baby bottle campaign runs through partner churches. Bottles go out, families fill them with cash, coins, and checks, and the bottles come back on a date you set, often Mother's Day to Father's Day. The online version does not replace that. It gives each church a team total, lets a family give without a bottle, and counts the cash when it comes in the door so the leaderboard is the whole campaign, not only the gifts that arrived by card. The guide is the plan for running both together.
Who this is for
Development and client-services staff at pregnancy resource centers, and the church coordinator who hands bottles out on Sunday. If your center runs this with a handful of partner churches, the same plan applies.
What you will be able to do after reading it
- Pick the dates and the return deadline before you order bottles
- Set up each partner church as its own team
- Invite families who will never receive a bottle
- Record the cash and checks against the right church when the bottles come back
The guide is written for pregnancy centers and the churches that partner with them, from campaigns run on FundEasy.
