Filling Cribs, Filling Hearts: Supporting Families in Washington State with PreparesForLife.org

Pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby is a joyous occasion, but it can also be a time of significant stress and uncertainty, especially for families facing financial hardship. In Washington state, PreparesForLife.org is working to support these families, providing essential resources and fostering a community of care. And next week, our church has a special opportunity to contribute!

PreparesForLife.org understands that providing for a newborn can be overwhelming. That's why they offer a range of services designed to empower parents and ensure babies have a healthy start to life. These services often include:

• Material Support: Diapers, wipes, clothing, and other essential baby items can be a significant expense. PreparesForLife.org helps bridge this gap by providing these necessities to families in need.
• Education and Resources: From prenatal care information to parenting classes, PreparesForLife.org connects families with the knowledge and support they need to navigate the challenges of parenthood.
• Community Building: Creating a supportive network is crucial. PreparesForLife.org fosters a sense of community where new parents can connect with others, share experiences, and find encouragement.

The impact of PreparesForLife.org is tangible. They are making a real difference in the lives of families right here in our community. They are helping babies thrive and empowering parents to embrace their new roles with confidence.

How Can You Help? Fill the Crib Next Week!

Next week, our church is partnering with PreparesForLife.org to host a "Fill the Crib" drive. We're asking our congregation to bring essential baby items to church to help stock the shelves of PreparesForLife.org's resource center. Your generosity can directly impact a family in need.

Here's what we're looking for:

• Diapers (especially newborn and size 1)
• Wipes
• Baby formula (unopened and unexpired)
• Baby clothes (new or gently used, sizes newborn to 12 months)
• Baby blankets and swaddles
• Baby toiletries (shampoo, lotion, etc.)

Please bring your donations to church next Sunday. We'll have a designated crib set up in the foyer where you can place your items.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Let's come together as a community to support PreparesForLife.org and help fill cribs – and hearts – with hope.
