Montgomery Catholic Students Raise $2,838 for COPE “Bottles for Babies”

Students from Kindergarten through the twelfth grade at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School collected pocket change in baby bottles to raise money for Montgomery’s COPE (Crisis Outreach for Pregnancy Emergencies) Crisis Pregnancy Center. This annual project raised $2,838 for COPE to purchase car seats, clothing, and supplies needed for women in the Montgomery area. COPE is a non-profit women’s health and caring center that provides free counseling, pregnancy testing, and other services for persons facing an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.
