Baby Bottle Boomerang
Friday, February 1st, 2008We purchased 1,000 bottles and distributed 645 in spring 2007. 312 were returned (48.4%), leaving us with 667. Feb. 1, 2008, gave 150 bottles to Mary Anne Shumata to run the program at her church during Lent.
Oct. 24, 2008 gave the remaining 517 bottles to Mercy P. to use for the Hispanic community at IHM. (We never got bottles back from Mary Anne – they went directly back to Birthright, pretty much all of them.)
As of February 2009, Birthright says they have a total of 300 bottles remaining, which means the Hispanic community returned only about 150, or 29%.
