Are you tired of unused baby items collecting dust around your house? Maybe you’ve tried garage sales and second hand stores. Now what? Before you give the items to a thrift store, please consider donating them to the Wee Ones Care and Share program – a free service for mothers in need of essential maternity and baby items.

There are 24,000 homeless people in Iowa. More than half of them are children. Homeless. Helpless. In need of hope. One simple gesture can restore hope. Join us in making a difference by helping mothers and children in need through your donations.

DONATE new and gently used items

Donations are preferred by Aug. 24, 2008. And, receipts are available upon request.

• Maternity clothes (any size)
• Baby clothes (0 – size 3T)
• Diapers (size 1 – 4)
