“We can’t all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”  ~ Mother Teresa

Our volunteers are wonderful. They make it happen!

How can you help Babies in Need? Here are a few ways:

  • Host a shower at home, work, school, club or church. Shower ideas here.
  • Sort donations and assemble layettes with us or at home.
  • Donate your homemade quilt or store bought receiving blankets.
  • Fold brochures and booklets.
  • Tell your friends and family about Babies in Need!
  • Download the Babies in Need brochure here and share it with others. (Flip on short edge to print.)

These are some ways our supporters have helped our little ones:

  • St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Longview works with staff at PeaceHealth St. John’s Birth Center to deliver our layettes and car seats to those who need them.
  • Ray Johnson is a visionary leader. He led the people of First United Methodist Church and others in building a new home for Babies in Need. Click here to read the amazing story: Miracles and Blessings!
