2025 Baby Bottle Campaign
Every year, since opening in 2006, Envisage has raised a large amount of its budget through the Baby Bottle Campaign. The campaign was simple; supporters would pick up baby bottles at church on Mother’s Day, fill them with donations, and return them on Father’s Day.
Things changed in 2020, and we’ve been running the campaign virtually ever since. We have found it to be a much safer way of raising funds especially in regards to the security of personal information and it allows us to steward our resources more effectively so we can invest more time serving clients.
As usual, the campaign will start on Mother’s Day (May 12th), and end on Father’s Day (June 16th).
Because it is important to us to have a tangible connection with you throughout the campaign, our devotionals are returning as a way to explore with us how we provide compassionate support for unexpected journeys.
This year, we’ve chosen the theme of “Compassion“. You won’t want to miss this Compassion Devotional which is designed to be an impactful tool; allowing you to see, feel and be moved by the difference your gift makes at Envisage.
Compassion Devotionals
Hear from our Executive Director, Darrelyn, who would like to personally invite you to explore with us how we provide compassionate support for unexpected journey’s throughout the Baby Bottle Campaign…
You can access a virtual copy of our COMPASSION DEVOTIONAL online here!
Over the next six weeks through this devotional, you will see through the stories of our clients, feel the impact of compassion in action, and, I pray, you will be moved to respond. I’d encourage you to read one section each week and see how…
- We are Moved with Compassion to Accurately See Each Person’s Story
- We are Moved with Compassion to Feel and Empathize with Their Journey
- We are Moved with Compassion Through Care Services, Equipping Individuals & Families
- We are Moved with Compassion Through Care Programs, Empowering and Walking alongside
- We are Moved with Compassion Through Care Resources, Offering Tangible Support
- We are Moved with Compassion Through our Care Workers
Thank you for your care for each person that we serve through your support!
Printed copies will also be available in supporting churches who are promoting the Baby Bottle Campaign. If you would like a printed copy, but your church does not have the devotionals, we would be happy for you to pick one up from one of our centre locations during the campaign. Or we would be delighted to mail one to you!

Envisage Family Stories
Get ready to be inspired – here are powerful stories that will uplift and encourage our community, showing the impact Envisage is having in peoples’ lives. Nearly 50% of pregnancies in Canada are unexpected – and in those moments of uncertainty, women and families need a place to turn to, find compassion, caring, and trustworthy support. That’s the gap Envisage fills with your generosity. Not only do we fill this incredible need, but through the Baby Bottle Campaign, we also hope to expand our programming that equips parents to thrive and build strong, healthy homes. We are deeply grateful for every gift we receive to fill our virtual baby bottle so we can continue to serve those like Katie, Jenna, Rachel, Rochelle, and Ashley. Thank you for making these families’ stories of healing, growth and compassion possible.
Moved with Compassion Through our Care Workers
At Envisage, we are moved to compassion through our Care Workers who are not only client advocates but – they are a source of comfort, strength, encouragement, and safety. Because of Care Worker’s compassion and support, they empower individuals to find courage, build resilience, gain strength, and take steps towards thriving. With the right support, meaningful and life-changing transformations become possible. We want to care well for our clients so we can reflect God’s love for them, showing them that they are deeply valued and never alone.
