Infant Essentials
Every Child is Worthy of:
Every child deserves to feel safe, loved and cared for, yet many children in foster care face uncertainty and challenges beyond their control. One essential need that often is overlooked is access to clean diapers. Diapers are a basic necessity for infants and toddlers, providing comfort, cleanliness and dignity.
Our Diaper and Baby Supply Drive aims to provide comfort and support to children in Foster Care by collecting diapers and pull ups of all sizes including other necessities such as; baby wash, baby shampoo, rash ointments, baby nail clippers, bottles and bibs. Your generous donations will directly benefit these children, offering them a sense of security and well-being during a time of transition and upheaval.
