Baby Buggy is looking for volunteers to assist the organization in its efforts to vet, sort and bundle items for families in need throughout Los Angeles with critical gear, products and items for children 0 to 14. As a small organization, volunteers have played a crucial role in our ability to distribute more than 50,000 items a month to some of America’s most vulnerable families. Attend on your own to meet new people or rally a group of friends or co-workers for a rewarding experience. Kids over the age of 7 are also welcome to attend with an adult, giving parents a great opportunity to show children the importance of giving back from an early age.
Volunteer activities include sorting, screening, cleaning and bundling items such as books, clothing, toys, and diapers to prep for distribution to community partners. We may also prepare diaper bags with critical baby items for new and expectant moms served by partner organizations in greater Los Angeles.

Mission Statement
Founded by Jessica Seinfeld, GOOD+ Foundation (formerly Baby Buggy) is a nonprofit organization that partners with a national network of leading programs to break the cycle of family poverty through the power of donated child products and life-changing family services.

Description
Founded by Jessica Seinfeld in 2001, GOOD+ Foundation (formerly Baby Buggy) is a nonprofit organization that partners with a national network of leading programs to break the cycle of family poverty through the power of donated child products and transformational family services. GOOD+ Foundation carefully selects high performing anti-poverty programs working with families at a critical pivot point in their journey out of poverty.
These programs provide comprehensive services (counseling, job training, parenting support) over a long period of time, allowing GOOD + Foundation to provide children’s gear and supplies to encourage and reward parental program enrollment and achievement in these life-changing programs. In this way, we can provide immediate material needs for a child, while his or her parents take the steps necessary to move the family towards stability.
OUR IMPACT
Through the generous support of donors and over 50,000 volunteers, GOOD+ Foundation has donated over 45million items through its partner network across the United States. The organization has been rated 4-Stars by Charity Navigator and received national accreditation from the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance for its efficient fundraising and operations.
