Birth Choice Needs Volunteers!

Birth Choice of San Marcos is a pro-life, Christian-based pregnancy resource center offering free pregnancy tests, ultrasound and options counseling for over 23 years. They will be opening a satellite office in downtown Oceanside at 611 Mission Ave., and are actively recruiting those who feel called to their ministry to train as volunteer counselors. Their hope is to be fully operational by October 2010, but they are looking to the Christian community to aid them in accomplishing this goal.

If you have any questions or interest in volunteering, please contact Mary Rose Stearns, Executive Director at 760.434.5063, or email at mrstearns@birthchoice.net .

Help Birth Choice of Temecula

Community Members are invited to help Birth Choice of Temecula to restart the Birth Choice Bargain Box Thrift Store for the betterment of this non-profit Pregnancy Resource Center and to help families in need.

Some community members may recall the Birth Choice Bargain Box Thrift Store that was open on Jefferson Avenue in Temecula, CA some years ago. With tough economic times, our client load is up 100% in the past year. Many families need material assistance for their babies and small children. There is an immediate opportunity to reopen this store and this non-profit needs your help. This store could do the following for the community and for Birth Choice of Temecula, a local ministry and charitable Pregnancy Resource Center:
• Provide funds to sustain the center during lean economic times • Provide for a 2000 sq foot space that can house a Thrift Store in an adjoining suite • Provide our existing and new clients more selection in their Mommy and Baby Boutique • Provide community families with another choice in discounted thrift store items. • Help us expand our Earn While You Learn Program for our clients. • Allow us the space to keep and give away more of our donated items from generous members of our community. • Allow you a place to donate gently used items that could be sold or given away in our new store.
Interested or want to donate, Call Jennifer Cartell, Executive Director, Birth Choice of Temecula (951) 699-9808 Ext. 105
(951) 551-5428 (cellular) or Kym on Friday’s at 951-699-9808 Ext. 0.
