WINTER NEWS

From the Executive Director's Desk

Dear Janice,

As winter settles in, we reflect with grateful hearts on the Gift of Love you have shared with the mothers and babies of our community. This season invites us to pause and give thanks for the compassion that carries families through moments of uncertainty.

The essence of Birthright is love :  love that listens without judgment, walks alongside a mother on her journey, and reassures families they are not alone.

Because of your generosity, that love is felt every day at Birthright. Through our Gift of Love campaign, you helped meet urgent needs during the winter months by providing warmth, nourishment, and support when it mattered most.

Together, this is what made your love made possible in 2025:

  • Supported 856 mothers and families

  • Walked alongside 185 pregnant moms

  • Welcomed 120 new babies

  • Clothed and diapered 1,349 infants and toddlers

  • Nourished 411 infants with supplemental formula

Each number represents a story of hope - a baby cared for, a mother supported, a family strengthened through essential items, compassionate listening, and the reassurance that someone was walking beside them.

Our hearts are excited to share that our Gift of Love campaign goal of $20,000 was reached!  a powerful testament to this community’s generosity.     

                Thank you for being part of every journey we serve.

 

We invite you to join us to hear from some of our moms at our Birthright Lights Up the Night fundraiser.  Join us for a night of fun and fashion featuring a heartfelt fashion show with our supporters, clients and their children.  Together, we'll celebrate the light of love that shines through every act of kindness.  Tickets on sale now.

 

                                                          With heartful of gratitude,
                                                                Janice Silvaroli

                                                              Executive Director
