How to Make a Donation

Donate Money

Monetary donations and gift cards are always greatly appreciated and help us to respond quickly to the greatest needs!
Consider becoming a monthly donor to provide ongoing support to a mom and child. Your dollars make a difference!
Formula costs a mom $500-$800 a month to feed her infant and $80-$120 a month to hygenically diaper her child.
$30 a month will nourish an infant for a weekend or diaper a child for a month.
For as little as a dollar a day,
you can make a great impact on a mother and child's life.

Birthright Lake, Inc, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All gifts are tax deductible.

"I had two unexpected pregnancies and I'm unable to work due to disability. I have no idea where I would have gotten the money needed to support my children. Birthright helped me with diapers, wipes, shoes, toys, coats, and books. The volunteers always helped me with whatever I needed. ”
