Donations and Funding

Collaboration with individuals, businesses and foundations supports our clients and ensure healthy babies. Please use the ideas below to assist in your donation plans.

Sweet Baby Dreams Gift Shop Donations

Pregnant women at Healthy Moms and Babies earn points by attending education classes (breast feeding, childbirth preparation, newborn care, postpartum, and parenting). They also earn points by attending appointments with the HMB Social Worker and the Registered Dietitian, when needed, due to risk factors. The clients can then “buy” items in our gift shop with their earned points. Our new moms appreciate receiving incentives and recognition for making the effort to learn critical information to ensure a healthy, happy baby and family.

What our clients need:

  • Diapers: sizes newborn, 1, and 2
  • Clothes: 6-9 months and some preemie/newborn
  • Toys 0-9 months: teethers, rattles, stroller toys, crib mobiles, etc.
  • Books: board books in English and Spanish, 6-9 months
  • Equipment: baby gyms, diaper bags/changing mats, carry slings,
    Umbrella strollers
  • Breast feeding bra pads, “modesty” shawls (over the shoulder for breastfeeding)

We accept new items only.

Please donate your gently used baby clothes and equipment to the homeless shelters, Church Women United, Catholic Charities, NEWS, etc.
