Make Baby Boxes
ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Fairfax
Please visit the new page to apply.
Create Boxes to help teen moms, first-time moms, and kids in foster care. You can make sure that they have appropriate baby products to raise healthy children.
Many of our clients can not afford items as simple as formula, diapers, wipes to care for their infants and toddlers. We want to make sure that all children are safe and healthy. By preparing such gifts for the families teaches them the importance of providing for their children so they can remain healthy and thrive as they get hit different development stages. The families appreciate the support they receive from us and the community.
We are looking for an organization or group to purchase, arrange, and deliver (to us) baby boxes to families in need of baby items. A typical baby box will consist of diapers, wipes, onesies, shampoo, bottles, and other baby product needs.
It is a fun group event to do as a team. You can decorate if you like or use baby tubs and baby bags as a container to wrap all the items. Some groups have even made a card to include in their boxes.
We are very flexible with the date and time. We can work around your schedule! Children under 18 welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Families encouraged.

Description
As the regional volunteer center for the National Capital region, Volunteer Fairfax serves the community in a wide variety of ways.
We provide Information and Referral services to community residents interested in volunteering through VolunteerNow. Individuals may also become engaged though a variety of service programs the Center offers including Volunteers for Change, which provides evening and weekend volunteer projects for busy adults; RSVP, a service program that invites people who are 55+ to engage in their community; and, Volunteer Emergency Management Team, a group of volunteers specially trained and prepared to help the community in the event of a disaster. Additionally, for those seeking opportunities to serve court-appointed hours, we have established the Alternative Community Service Program.
