Celeb Moms Step Out to Support Baby2Baby

This past Saturday, Modern Family’s Julie Bowen — herself mom to sons Oliver McLanahan, 2 ½, and fraternal twins John and Gus, 7 months — hosted The Mini Social Holiday Shopping Party in support of Baby2Baby, a charity that supplies Los Angeles families in need with essential baby gear and clothing for their children 0-4 years old.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS

We are looking for preschools to host baby gear and clothing drives. If you would be interested in spearheading this project at your school please contact us. This is a great way to get your kids involved in the community and giving.

We are open! If you would like to make a donation or volunteer the Baby2Baby office is open Monday and Wednesday 10:30a-1p.

We hope now that the kids are back in school that you might be able to organize a drive at your school or give us some of your free time. Thanks for your help.

We have raised $29,501 towards our $50,000 goal.

Please note that we will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.

Mother’s Day Fundraising update….so far we have raised $22,735. Please help us reach our $50,000 goal.

Baby2Baby kicks off its annual fundraising drive in honor of Mother’s Day!

So far we have raised $14,520. Please help us reach our $50,000 goal.

This year, the need for Baby2Baby’s services has increased as more families are seeking help from community-based organizations.  In Los Angeles County the number of families seeking emergency shelter doubled in the winter of 2009*.   These children and their families desperately need the basics: food, formula, cribs, and strollers.

Donations allow us to continue recycling gently used baby items and purchase essentials that are in short supply.  They make a huge impact on families that depend on us.

$1,000 helps provide 6 families with cribs
$500 helps provide 10 families with car seats
$250 helps provide 5 families with strollers
$100 helps provide formula for 1 month

Please consider a gift to Baby2Baby.  Click here for information about making a financial contribution.
