NC4 has been partnering with Bright Hope for over 15 years as they provide services to families across the Lehigh Valley. Bright Hope operates three centers in Allentown, Easton, and Bethlehem that provide pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling to women facing an unplanned pregnancy.
Volunteer
Serve on a one-time service project or get trained to help in on on-going basis. Bright Hope relies on over 100 committed volunteers to offer their services.
Donate
Participate in an annual fundraiser (like the Baby Bottles or Walk for Life 5k), contribute baby items during a donation drive, or even drop off lightly used items at one of the Divine Resale shops.
Promote
Follow Bright Hope on social media, then you can share their newest posts with all your friends. Or, consider becoming a church liason to promote Bright Hope efforts to NC4 members and attendees.
Items to Donate
Baby Boutique Donations
Donated baby items are used in the Baby Boutique Shop. Here, moms can use Baby Bucks they have earned for attending parenting classes to purchase items for their family. Donated items can be dropped off at the Allentown center or during NC4’s annual Bright Hope Drive during the month of May.
