Mission: We inspire hope, love and dignity for underprivileged women in crisis pregnancies.
Why we started this ministry:
So many families amongst our community are struggling to acquire the basic necessities of life. A new baby puts an added strain on already limited resources and many babies lack appropriate items of clothing and blankets to stay warm and thrive during their crucial first year of life.
On the other hand, so many of us have been blessed with excess clothing during the course of their first year and many items are only worn once or twice or never used before they are outgrown.
Our goal is to provide a way to get these surplus items into the arms of mothers/fathers with babies in need.
Donated gently used or new clothing in newborn to 2T sizes along with blankets and accessories (hats, socks, bibs) are collected on an ongoing basis. Clothes are sorted and items of each size sufficient for the first year will be placed in a bag and labeled for a baby "boy" or "girl". We also supply mothers with nursery items as needed (swings, bouncy seats, crib sheets, blankets, etc.).
The completed bags are then distributed to mothers and families in need. We also partner with several local organizations and distribute goods in bulk as needed.
Are you in need? MHH is here for YOU. If you’re pregnant or if you have a young baby, we can provide you with gently used maternity clothing, baby clothing and nursery items. Our items have been generously donated and we ensure you everything we offer is clean and in good condition.
