BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Soroptimist International of Bend is holding the 19th Annual “Community Baby Shower” donation event, from May 1-31.
The club is asking for community donations of new or gently used baby items, such as clothing, blankets (crocheted or knitted, baby quilts); crocheted sweaters, hats, booties, baby socks, crib sheets. Sizes from newborn up to at least 12 months of age are appreciated.
Note: They cannot accept used car seats.
Donations will be distributed throughout the Tri-County area by the Oregon Department of Human Services to families in need and foster families who take in an infant or toddler on short notice. Being able to access these items helps alleviate financial burdens for families in our community and bring comfort to the infants and toddlers in their care.
