I'm currently trying to contact a few non profit organizations to inquire about donations and how I can begin a relationship with them to continue dontations regularly. But until then, I'd LOVE to receive whatever donations you can give. I plan to collect items anytime, anywhere someone is willing to give and once I find an organization OR an individual in need, I'll give whatever I can/have that will help. Obviously right now, I'm not a 'real' organization, so I have no ability to offer tax slips, but I know you can claim some dontations on your tax returns without receipts. I would encourage you to give anyway...it just feels good!
Some things I've pulled aside the past week or two, to donate are: my size newborn-3 months clothes (my kiddo's will never be born small enough to fit them), 2 cans of infant formual my daughter is not in need of, two packages of diapers that are not the brand we use and some of my daughters clothes she's recently grown out of. I'm also going to go thru some of my daughter's stuffed animals.
In this time of year, I'd love to encourage you if you're reading this, to go thru your childs outgrown items or old toys. Please give what you can, no donation is too small. Gentiley used items are key; my hope is to give another Mother the ability to be proud of what she's provided for her loves one and we all know it feels good when our little ones have nice clothes and working toys.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or if you have a donation you'd like to arrange a pick up of. If you know a mother in need, I'd love to help! Please email me her situation or what her needs are and I'll do whatever I can to help!
Thank you for reading my blog and for whatever you can give.

Kimber--this is cool. Good luck my dear. At each and every Care Net location, there's one in Sumner, they collect donations to help low-income mommies be able to keep their babies. Care Net is a non-profit pro-life organization that provides education on options for young and new moms who are scared on being moms. They help counsel and are Christian based so they pray with ladies. I know that at each location they have a little shop for moms who've decided to keep babies that include maternity clothes and things for the growing baby (ie all the things your collecting!) Might be a good option for you to donate too.
