From May 1 to May 31, Soroptimist International of Bend is holding the 20th Annual Community Baby Shower donation event. The club is asking for community donations of new baby and toddler items — such as clothing, quilts and blankets, books, toys, diapers, wipes, bottles and toiletries. Sizes from newborn through toddler are appreciated.
Important Note: We are not accepting used items this year, at the request of the recipient organization.
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.
Collection baskets are placed citywide at supporting businesses, making it easy to participate. Donation drop-off locations with our community partners are listed below.
With the help of our generous community, Soroptimist International of Bend would like to thank our community in advance for making sure our smallest community members know that the people of Bend sincerely care for their well-being. Please join us with strong participation to show our community partners how much we appreciate them hosting these donation sites. Every gift you make helps and is appreciated.
