• Baby Bottle Drive

  Every year we hand out baby bottles on Mother's Day through churches who choose to support life by participating in our Baby Bottle Drive.  Church members take home the bottles and collect change and then return them to their church on Father's Day.  There is absolutly no cost to the church and  you don't even have to mess with all the change, we will do that for you!  Last year we sent out 911 bottles and reaised nearly $11,000!  This year we hope to send out 1,000 bottlesw and raise $12,000.  We can not do this alone, we need your help.  Please email volunteer@faithmaternity.com to let us know how many bottles your church needs.  We also have large bottles that can be placed in businesses or in the back of a church. 

  Every penny collected counts just like every baby saved counts!!
• Ministry Update
  • Once again we are full with a waiting list.  If you or someone you know is pregnate and needs help please call us.  Even though our home is full, there are other things we can do.
  • If you are on our mailing list, Newsletters will be going on soon.  If you want to be on our mailing list please email Melissa at volunteer@faithmaternity.com. 
  • Churches please keep an eye out for the invite to participate in this year's Baby Bottle Drive.  Letter should be going out by the end of the month.  Last year we had 27 churches participate and this year we are praying for 30 who will take a stand for life. 
  • Melissa is available to do presentations to your small or large ministry/civic minded groups. This might be a civic club, Sunday school class, an entire church, or even just the pastor. 
• Upcomming Events

  We have two upcoming events! 

  Friday, February 9th is the Spirit FM's Biggest Baby Shower and we are taking part.  Bring your donations from 10am-2pm to our Non Resident Office, located at 500 Market St Suite 300 (3rd floor, last door on the right), Fulton Mo.  We will have some cookies on hand and maybe even some give aways!  Of course you should also listen to Spirit FM during that time as well, they will be playing games on air. 

  Tuesday, February 20th FMC will be holding an apprication lunch at the Callaway Health Department Meeting Room.  We will be serving soup and sandwiches from 11am-2pm for anyone who made a donation of any kind or volunteered in 2017.  Feel free to bring a friend or co worker who would like to know more about Faith Maternity's work.  Hope to see you for lunch!
• Its Tax Time

  We know everyone is gearing up for the end of the year and starting to gather all of their tax information and we are too.  In the middle of this year, we started using a new program to help us track donations and make sending out end of the year donation receipts easier.  Everything has been entered in from July through December but we are having to go back and get the beginning of the year transferred in.  Please be patient with us. We promise to have it done by the end of the year.  We will be sending out donation receipts by mid January.  If you gave over $100, you are eligible for a 50% Missouri Tax Credit and we will include the form you need to fill out.  Please note, you will be mailing the form to us to sign and we will then send it to the state. About a month later the state will send you the final certificate you need for filing your taxes. You will need to collect copies of your canceled checks from your bank (front and back sides).  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, it can be a bit confusing.  

  Please note, it is not too late to give!  We still have tax credits available to help lower your tax liability.  You get to count your gift as a federal and state deduction AND get 50% of your gift (over $100) as a credit on your owed state taxes.
