BABY BOTTLE DRIVES 

One way that groups can partner with New Life Family Services is through a baby bottle campaign. This is a financial fundraiser where individuals fill a baby bottle with coins, cash, and checks (online baby bottle gifts are also accepted). Filling a baby bottle is a great way to get families, youth, and children involved with a visual reminder about what the gifts are going to support.

How it works:
  1. Choose a timeframe to host a Baby Bottle Drive. We usually suggest 2-6 weeks.
  2. Reach out to Churches@NLFS.org to request Baby Bottles and schedule a time to pick them up from our Administrative Office in Richfield (1515 E 66th Street) or Rochester First Care (40 16th Street SE).
  3. Distribute baby bottles to your congregation or group and encourage them to fill the bottles with coins, cash, and checks, or give online using the baby bottle designation, and return the bottles on the return date.
  4. Collect baby bottles on your chosen date.
  5. Recruit volunteers from your church or group to deliver the full baby bottles to our Administrative Office in Richfield (1515 E 66th Street) or Rochester First Care (40 16th Street SE) during office hours. Please communicate with our staff when you anticipate dropping off the bottles.
  6. NLFS staff will count and process all of the baby bottle gifts and send you the total amount raised within a few weeks of returning them! If you need the total by a specific date, please let us know.

Thank you for considering hosting a Baby Bottle Drive for New Life Family Services!
