Last Saturday, even with a busy Mother’s Day weekend, we were able to support 36 families — including 3 brand new families! What an incredible blessing to serve our community together.

Swaddling Clothes is for EVERY family in every stage of pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. Our shopping days are always free, with no income requirements or paperwork. We simply want families to feel supported, encouraged, and cared for. 🫶

Thank you to everyone who donates, volunteers, shares our posts, and invites others. Your kindness helps more families find the support they need.

Keep spreading the word, inviting friends, neighbors, and new parents, and helping us grow this community of care. Parenthood is better when it’s shared. ✨
