Babies in Need at All Saints Episcopal
Vancouver, WA
We’re here to ensure that every baby in Clark County and Cowlitz Counties can have essential clothing, bedding, car seats and nice extras.
Every month about 35 of the 550+ babies born in Clark & Cowlitz Counties need our help when their families find themselves struggling to provide the basics for their care. We work with local social workers to ensure that every newborn in Southwest Washington has essential clothing, bedding and car seats. Our gift packs provide these and other things parents need during their baby’s first three months of life.
We tuck in a few nice extras like a picture book, tips on reading with children, and booklets full of warm, encouraging advice. We provide lists of free local services available to new parents and a compilation of familiar, well-loved prayers parents and children can share.
Since 1999 we have given 3201 car seats, 6168 layette gift packs and 932 sibling bags!
