We recently expressed the need for a new infant car seat for the staff to use to transport Bethany babies. Within 20 minutes of sharing that request with individuals on our e-mail list, we had someone to offer to underwrite the cost of a new car seat. Over the next two days we had 3 more such offers.
The staff is very grateful for those who have been willing to come forward to purchase items for us.
We have been asked to make a wish list available so that others may have the opportunity to assist us in this way.
We like to give a gift basket to our birthmoms when they are in the hospital to help them feel a little better during what is often an extremely difficult time.
If you would be interested in assisting us with either underwriting the cost of, or personally making gift baskets, please contact the Bethany office at 864.235.2273 or bcsgreenville@bethany.org.
 Possible Gift Basket Items:
Medium-sized baskets or decorative (cloth) memory boxes
Grass or tissue paper
Lotion, bath salts, or shower gel from Bath & Body Works
Chocolate
Travel-size pack of tissues

Devotional book from a Christian bookstore
