Host a Baby Item Donation Drive for Families in Southwest Iowa

Catholic Charities Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Program is seeking volunteers, businesses, churches, schools, or community groups to host a donation drive in support of our 12th Annual Community Baby Shower.

Each October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we bring together expecting parents and families with infants from across southwest Iowa for a free Community Baby Shower. Families receive essential baby supplies, educational resources, connections to community services, and support from local organizations.

Your donation drive helps ensure every registered family receives the essentials they need to welcome their baby.

Most-needed items

• Diapers (especially newborn and sizes 4–6)
• Baby wipes
• Bottles and bottle brushes
• Pacifiers
• Teethers
• Baby wash, lotion, and other hygiene products
• Board books
• Age-appropriate baby toys

We can provide a donation flyer, promotional materials, and guidance to help make your drive successful.
