Project Mom

Project Mom 2007 has ended. Check this space in the Fall for info on Project Mom 2008! Every year ND Right to Life hosts a baby shower at the Women's Care Center in South Bend after a collection drive for items to give to the women at the shower. This is for moms who are facing unexpected pregnancies or difficult financial situations and really need some support in their decisions to chose life and have their babies! The drive starts in early Fall and runs the baby shower on December 8, and we could really use your help! We are basically looking for any donations that could be used by babies or moms. There is a list of ideas below, but really it can be anything you can think of. If you don't have time to go shopping, we would also greatly welcome monetary donations...every little bit will add up! We will use this money to fund the baby shower and buy anything needed for the gift baskets that doesn't get donnated, like clothes for the proper age/gender, more diapers etc.

Donation bins are located in dorms around campus. Please give monetary donations directly to dorm reps, the Project Mom commissioner (Juliana Thimons), or Right to Life officers, or drop them off or mail them to the Right to Life office. (See the Contacts page for contact info and a list of dorm reps.) The dorm with the most donations/participation will win a free pizza party!!!!
