Each week we get over 100 requests from families needing items! Care packages are created for each individual family based on their specific needs. These might include diapers, baby food, kids clothing, personal hygiene, toys, books and other requested items for the families we help. It’s kind of like going on a shopping spree - but it won't cost you anything but your time! :)
