Opportunity Details

Help Babies Have a Safe Sleep Space

Open Door Family Medical Center's Baby Boxes provide mothers in need with a newborn starter kit that can be used as a safe sleep space for their new baby. Each box is filled with new diapers, baby clothes, toys, products, and important information to ensure the child has a healthy and safe start in life.

Volunteers are needed to help assemble Baby Boxes. Open Door will alert volunteers in case dates or times are changed. Volunteers can also support this activity by starting a collection with their friends, family, and colleagues. Items to collect include:

  • Newborn clothes and sleepwear
  • Baby soap
  • Diaper cream
  • Infant thermometers
  • Baby toys
  • Lend a personal touch with a hand-written card to a new mom

This is a perfect project for families, scout troops, corporate challenges, and baby showers. Visit Open Door's Baby Essentials Wishlist on Amazon for more items: http://rebrand.ly/Baby-Box-Wishlist
