QUICK OVERVIEW
Baby2Baby’s Student2Student program gives our generous supporters and sponsors the opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of the children we serve by providing them with everything they need to start the school year on the right foot.
IMPACT
For families in need, providing the most basic necessities for their children is nearly impossible, especially with rising inflation and any leftover funds going toward paying for food and rent. Baby2Baby will match participants with a student (or a group of students) living in poverty to fulfill their wishlists and supply the essentials they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
For every matched pair, a child in our program will receive the school supplies they deserve but would otherwise go without. Sponsors will be provided with a bio of each child along with the child’s gender, age, sizing information and a checklist of items to include.
VOLUNTEER ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES
Baby2Baby will provide you with a customized wishlist including sizing information. You will then shop for the requested items and drop off all gifts. You will typically have 10 days to shop for the items and will be assigned an exact drop-off date once you are matched with a child in need. The drop-off date will be between August 3rd - August 9th and will depend on when you receive your child's information. You can also donate monetarily using the link below and a volunteer will use the donation to shop for the items!
