Our criteria to make an appointment is you need to be at least 28 weeks-until 6 months of age. The Baby Pantry was birthed in 1999 by Carolyn Maksimowicz when she realized how many moms in need were without the basics at the time of their baby's birth. The purpose is three-fold:
To meet the practical needs of the mom and offer her a wide selection of new and like new baby items free of charge. To
express the love of Christ to the mothers and encourage church attendance and Bible reading. How you can help:
You can donate new or like new clothing and baby items. Like new means not torn, stained or soiled, not with pilled fabric, freshly laundered clothing you would put your own baby or grandchild in. :)
Host a baby shower through your church or organization. Items needed include: Sleepers, Onesies, outfits, snowsuits/jackets (All size 0-12months); Crib sheets, receiving blankets, hooded towels, wash cloths, bibs, bottles, newborn diapers and wipes, diaper bags, shampoos, power, bottom creams, lotions, and large items, bassinets, pack n plays, high chairs, strollers, bouncy seats, carriers, (new) car seats or (new) cribs only.
