Lent Service Project 2023
Baby Care Kits for LWR
Ash Wednesday (March 1) - Easter Sunday (April 9)
This year during Lent we will be collecting items needed for Lutheran World Relief for Baby Care Kits. These kits provide basic necessities for parents around the world as they welcome their new babies into the world. We hope you will consider donating some of the kit pieces listed below. Clothing items must be for sizes 6 months-24 months; note that they don’t have to be new. Gently used and clean items can be substituted for new items (no stains/ tears and please no items with religious or patriotic symbols/messages).
- Lightweight cotton t-shirts (No onesies)
- Long or short sleeved gowns/sleepers without feet (Top and pant sets or pajamas may be substituted)
- Receiving blankets (medium-weight cotton or flannel, crocheted or knitted with lightweight yarn, up to “52” sq.)
- Cloth diapers (these can be purchased or you can also sew diapers from flannel material or old t-shirts. For instructions visit https://lwr.org/downloads/diaper-tip-sheet)
- Hand towels, dark color recommended
- Bath-size bars of gentle soap, in original wrapping
- Diaper pins or large safety pins
For more information about Baby Care Kits please go to: Baby Care Kits. You will also find information here if you would like to put together full kits on your own or with your faith group.
Donations can be dropped off in the Lutheran World Relief cart in the atrium from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday.
