CareNet Fitchburg Bottle Drive


The annual bottle drive for the CareNet crisis pregnancy center in Fitchburg is currently underway. Each bottle may be filled up with your loose change, bills or a check made out to CareNet and brought back to HBC on Sunday, June 20th (Father's Day).

The dedicated volunteers at each CareNet center provide accurate information and education to each woman who comes to them facing an unplanned pregnancy. Support is confidential, and women are directed to community support entitlements such as WIC, transitional assistance, and the food stamp program if needed.

Besides the bottle drive fundraiser, CareNet has an ongoing need for donated baby goods - new and "gently used". These donations are distributed to parents-to-be attending CareNet's free parenting classes.
