5 Ways to Support ACPC During A Crisis
Amid the many shutdowns due to COVID-19, ACPC is committed to serving our community for as long as we are able to do so. Though this continues to be a difficult time for businesses, families, and non-profits alike, we need your support more than ever so we can continue to reach our community. Here are five tangible ways you can support ACPC in our mission while still doing your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
1. Join Our Prayer Team
We believe in the power of prayer! Become a Champion of Life by joining our Prayer Team. We aim to send 1 weekly email on Fridays containing brief prayer requests (shared with permission) concerning our patients, clients, and staff.
2. Make Something You Can Donate
Are you gifted at crocheting or knitting and find yourself with a lot of spare time? We host baby showers for our expecting clients and patients and they absolutely love receiving homemade items for their babies!
Some ideas include:
- Blankets
- Hats/Headbands
- Clothing
- Booties
3. Donate Gently Used, Like New Items
Are you using this time to get a little more organized? While cleaning out your closet, save gently used, like new baby and maternity clothing for us. Please wash items beforehand. If you are unable to, we will launder them for you. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, please call to schedule a drop off time in advance: 719-544-9312.
Update: On Wednesday March 25, 2020, Governor Polis issued a Statewide Stay-at-home order effective until April 11, 2020. ACPC is falls under the guidelines of being considered an essential business. However, we understand if our supporters choose to stay home and donate items at a later time. Thank you!
We also take unopened, unexpired baby food, unopened baby wipes, and unopened packages of diapers. (These items have increased in demand for our patients.)
4. Donate Part of Your Tax Return
ReFUND CO highlights an easy way to support our mission. If you get a state income tax refund in 2020, you will have a new opportunity to donate some or all of it to support our ongoing work of helping women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy decision in our community. The new program described by the ReFUND CO initiative puts you in charge of where your donation goes.
Enter PUEBLO CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER, INC. and our registration number 20063008641 in the Donate to a Colorado Nonprofit Fund line on your state income tax return or tax software – or just give this info to your tax preparer when you share your tax documents.
5. Shop Online With AmazonSmile
With limited store hours, limited stock and supplies, and restrictions on gathering, many in our community are turning to online shopping to get essential items delivered. AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support A Caring Pregnancy Center every time you shop online, at no cost to you. AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to ACPC when you designate us as your charitable organization of your choice.
Bonus Help Tip:
We understand that many of our donors and supporters are experiencing financial strain and hardship during this time, but we humbly ask for you to continue give if you are able to. Your gift, whatever the size, makes a huge difference in the lives of the women and families we serve. This can be accomplished through a one-time donation, a monthly pledge, or a reoccurring gift. Thank you for your generosity!
