Help Birthright of Rochester

Birthright of Rochester

Rochester, New York

Cause Description:
Since 1971, Birthright of Rochester has offered free and confidential pregnancy support to any woman regardless of age, income or ethnicity. Birthright’s focus is on the distressed mother and her baby. Staffed almost exclusively by volunteers, we understand that each woman's situation is unique and our objective is to help her understand that she has options. We then provide support and advocacy to her through our follow- up program. Emphasizing accessibility, Birthright offers multiple locations throughout the greater Rochester area, and a 24 hour hotline so that assistance is always only a phone call away. Birthright volunteers work to locate and connect clients to key resources within our community, such as medical care, emergency housing, legal or adoption services, if needed, etc. We provide maternity clothes and childbirth classes. Follow up continues to the baby’s first birthday, during which we host support luncheons to share pertinent information, provide a forum for discussion and encourage networking with other mothers. We offer clothing as the baby grows, and provide emergency formula and diapers. Birthright needs your support! By selecting our cause, you can help us help Rochester's women and children in need!
