  • Mission

    To collect and distribute boxes of donated clothing and blankets to babies in need.

    About Us

    • Every baby needs to have adequate clothing and blankets
    • Numerous people have gently used or unworn baby clothing and blankets that are no longer needed
    • There are many mothers and babies in need, including those from military, immigrant, low income and foster families
    • Particular attention should be paid to teen mothers and minority populations in San Diego County including Hispanic, African/Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander
    • In underserved populations many babies are born pre-term or at a low birth weight and therefore "preemie" sized clothing should also be distributed
    • Packages to new mothers will include: blankets, socks, hats, pants, short and long sleeve onesies, sleepers, bibs, and some extra items including overalls, jackets, and dresses
    • Packages to new mothers should also include multilingual educational materials about local services available and relevant prevention issues such as SIDS
