SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Sacramento Life Center is inviting the community to take part in two upcoming drives designed to support local families and provide essential medical services through the organization’s free clinic, Sac Valley Women’s Health.

Throughout the spring, the nonprofit is hosting both its Annual Baby Bottle Fundraiser and a Founder’s Day Diaper Drive, two community-driven initiatives that help fund critical services for women and families across the Greater Sacramento region.

The annual Baby Bottle Drive encourages schools, churches, organizations and individuals to collect spare change, cash or checks in baby bottles distributed across the region. Donations raised through the drive support Sac Valley Women’s Health, which provides free medical services and resources to women and families who may not otherwise have access to care.

Funds from the campaign help provide services including free pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds, well-woman exams, baby essentials and parenting resources, emotional support and guidance and no-cost medical services for women navigating pregnancy and early parenthood.

The fundraiser runs throughout March, with bottles returned in the weeks leading up to Easter.

In addition to the regional fundraiser, Sacramento Life Center will celebrate its 54th anniversary with a family-friendly community event, the Founder’s Day Diaper Drive.

The event will take place on March 20 from noon to 3 p.m. outside Leatherby’s Family Creamery in Arden, 2333 Arden Way, Sacramento. Community members are encouraged to bring a pack of diapers of any size to donate. As a thank-you, participants will receive a free scoop of ice cream.

Organizers say the event offers a fun and simple way for families to give back while helping stock essential supplies for new parents.

“Diapers are one of the most requested items for families with newborns,” said Executive Director Marie Leatherby. “This drive helps ensure parents have the supplies they need during an important time in their lives.”

Community members who cannot attend the diaper drive can still participate by donating online through Sacramento Life Center’s Virtual Baby Bottle Drive at saclife.org/donate 

Both initiatives highlight the organization’s mission of strengthening families by providing compassionate support, practical resources, and access to free medical care for women and parents throughout the Sacramento area.
