How Does it Work?
The Baby Bottle Campaign is a fun way to get church members of all ages involved in the fight to defend life right here in West Tennessee. Someone from your church (the “bottle liaison”) will pick up baby bottles from the nearest Birth Choice office or pickup location and will bring them to church. Church members take home bottles, fill them with cash, change, or checks, and bring them back to church when full. People may also donate online at the button at this top of this page.
At the end of the campaign, the liaison will collect all the bottles and bring them back to the same location where they picked them up. Birth Choice will count the money and let your church know how much you raised! All funds support the Birth Choice ministry. You can read our FAQs on the campaign here.

Free Campaign Resources
We want to make running the bottle campaign in your church as easy as possible. Below, you will find downloadable resources and tips to make spreading the word within your congregation a breeze!
Slides/Presentation Images
If your church rotates through slides for Sunday morning announcements, you can just drag and drop one of these images into PowerPoint or another platform. Click on an image to download.
Social Media Images
Feel free to use these on your social media pages, or drag and drop into an email or bulletin. Click on an image to download.
Posters
When you pick up your bottles, you will also receive one or more posters to hang up in your church.
Table Sign
If you set up a “pickup and drop-off table” for your church’s baby bottles, be sure to include this “table sign” so people will know what it is about or donate online with the QR code. This sign will also be given to you when you pick up your bottles, but if you need another one, you may click on the image to download the PDF.
Videos
Below is a great video called “Designed by the Creator” by Playback Media that we have permission to make available to others. It could accompany a sermon or it could be a standalone video for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Feel free to download the video and share within your congregation. Please do not upload it to social media, YouTube, or any other streaming platform.
We also have several YouTube videos featuring stories from our own clients that you can share with your church! Click here for our “client stories” YouTube playlist.

Tips for Promoting the Campaign in Your Church
- Set up a table with bottles in a high traffic area for people to pick up and return. Be sure to include the “table sign” so people will know what it is about or donate online with the QR code.
- Make a quick Sunday morning or Wednesday night announcement to the congregation to pick up and return bottles (use our slide images for PowerPoint or another platform – just drag and drop!). An announcement to return bottles will be helpful the Sunday before the campaign ends. Be sure to share some of our stats and stories to inspire your church members!
- Have small group leaders make quick announcements to their small groups
- Show one of our videos about the sanctity of human life or about Birth Choice
- Put an announcement in the bulletin (you can put one of our images in the bulletin as well!)
- Hang our posters
- Email your church members about the campaign (feel free to use our images!)
- Post our free images on your church’s social media
- Make it fun! Some churches hold contests between husbands and wives or youth contests between boys and girls to see who can raise the most or fill the most bottles. Feel free to get creative.
