Thank you for your interest in helping the Martha and Mary Maternity Ministry! There are many opportunities to make a difference, two lives at a time!  Here are a few examples.  Contact us to discuss other ways you might want to help.

Start a "Baby Bottle Fundraiser" at your parish

We provide you with a flyer to hand out and empty baby bottles to distribute to parishioners, family and friends.  They fill them with currency, coins, or a check and then return filled bottles to church, which sends the funds along to us. Email info@MarthaMaryChicago.org about this opportunity for everyone to have hands-on involvement in our life-affirming work.

Transportation

Help mothers (and possibly their babies) get to and from medical appointments, work, or other events

Communications

Write or edit this site, social media, or other information pieces we send out through the year, or assist us in fielding calls or making calls out to parishes and supporters

Life Skills COACHING

Share areas of personal expertise with residents. If you have a talent or a professional skill that can enhance the lives of our residents, please give us a call. From driving skills to household budgeting - your love and coaching can be of enormous help.

Pick-Ups

Drive to pick up donations, food, or other materials and either deliver to the residence of one of our moms or to temporary storage

Donation processing

Sort, wash, record and stock donated items for current or future use

Storage

Lend us even a few cubic feet in a closet or a spare room to store wonderful donations that we need to keep in storage (for babies, for families’ new residences, and even for off seasons and future projects)
