IVHCare and Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home Partner for Fifth Consecutive Year
West Des Moines, IA — IVHCare, a free medical clinic serving individuals facing unplanned pregnancies, announces the launch of its annual Baby Bottle Campaign at Christian churches throughout central Iowa, including the Des Moines area.
Now in its fifth consecutive year, Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home continues as the corporate sponsor of this community effort. “We feel that IVHCare does a great job in meeting the needs of pregnant women in our community,” said Mark Parrish, co-owner of Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home. “Women who find themselves in this difficult situation don’t know where to go, but when coming to IVHCare, they are met with compassionate and professional nurses who help them in their moment of need. We do the same at Caldwell Parrish, by meeting the needs of families who have lost a loved one, so we appreciate this shared core value.”
Loralee Chase, Executive Director at IVHCare, expressed gratitude for the continued partnership: “On behalf of IVHCare, we’re so grateful for Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home and what they do for the Des Moines community. Their commitment to this Baby Bottle Campaign corporate sponsorship year after year showcases their willingness to help women in crisis and support our mission.”
The Baby Bottle Campaign invites community members to pick up a bottle at participating churches, fill it with spare change, and return it by the campaign’s end — with proceeds directly supporting IVHCare’ free services. Look for a campaign near you in 2026, and if you’re interested in organizing one at your church, school, or group, contact IVHCare.
