In the face of natural disasters and in areas of extreme poverty, Church World Service Baby Care Kits help young mothers care for their newborn babies. To assemble a Kit you will need:
- Six cloth diapers
- Two T-shirts or undershirts for newborns (no onesies, they outgrow them too fast)
- Two washcloths
- Two gowns or sleepers
- Two diaper pins
- One sweater or sweatshirt (can be hand-knitted or crocheted)
- Two recieving blankets (one can be hand-made)
Items MUST BE NEW and sized to fit infants under 12 months old. Wrap items inside one of the receiving blankets and secure them with both diaper pins. When you’re ready to ship, contact the Church office, we have forms for shipping them.
Is there a deadline for this?
Where does one find cloth diapers these days? Toys R Us, Babies R Us?
Toys R Us carries them in their “Babies R Us” section – but so does Target and most big-box stores.
I think they already sent their major shipment, but the office still has resources to send more so you can send them at any time.
