Without community donations both in-kind and monetary we will not be able to keep our services open. - 100% volunteer/donation driven. We are here helping others, only because of your generosity. ~ November through January are the crisis months for many service providers because of the onset of damp, chilly weather and the holidays. Its also the end of the year, when the donations and inventory are typically low. Thanks to our Fill the Manger program, we are able to restock shelves in the rough months with diapers, baby wash, blankets, and clothing. A manger can be large or small. If you are interested in starting one in your workplace, faith community, or elsewhere, we will be happy to help you get started. We can provide you with a list of items, and suggestions for collecting . Baskets for Babies, Fill the Manger program, was built from the idea of Seattles Baby Corner, Crib Communities. The Baby Corner began in 1988 as a simple cardboard box placed in St. JosephChurch on Capitol Hill., in Seattle, WA. “Fill the Manger” is important because it provides a renewed stream of in-kind donations to Baskets for Babies. Participants also benefit because their own members are providing an opportunity to teach young children about compassion, as well as service opportunities for older children. Sponsoring a crib is also a great, socially responsible way to recycle usable clothing and equipment.
