Care Pregnancy Center of Lenawee

Donation Suggestions:

1.  Use a box similar to the kind used to store files and documents. 

2.  Choose a gender and age category for “your” baby.  Cut out the appropriate label and check the age group for which you will be packing the box.  Click here for Baby Boy label or Baby Girl label.

3.  Refer to the shopping list below and purchase the items required for the age group you have chosen.

4.  Pack the items neatly in the box – start with the diapers on the bottom, and then work your way up from there.  It will all fit – you just might have to be creative!  (Please leave all food items and utensils in their original packaging.)

5.  Once you have filled the box with all of the necessary items, you may have some room left over.  Feel free to be creative, as long as it’s appropriate and in no way culturally insensitive.  (Examples: a special pair of baby booties or homemade item, an inspirational book or small Bible for the parents, a small toy item, any other baby item you think might be useful.)

6.  Take a moment to write a note of encouragement to the parents of the baby who will be receiving the box.  Remember – many of these people have lost everything, and are relying upon the kindness of strangers to have their basic needs met.  An encouraging word will likely go a long way!
