Gently Hugged is a San Diego nonprofit organization that supports newborns during their first year of life by supplying gently used or new clothing, board books, blankets and more to families in need. We are looking for volunteers who can commit to volunteering in our office for a couple hours every week or couple of weeks. We are very flexible around a volunteer's schedule and use a program called Sign Up Genius for our workers to choose when they would like to volunteer.
We are specifically looking for people to sort our clean laundry and for others who will inspect the donated clothing to make sure it is in excellent condition.
Our new expansion office will be located in Carlsbad and is a great place to volunteer, make new friendships, and enjoy helping babies in need. Every job is important and we believe in a team approach.
If you are interested, please go to the Contact Us page on our website (www.gentlyhugged.org/contact-us) and send us a message expressing your interest. Please select the sub-category "Volunteer Interest" when drafting the message, so it gets to Vicki. We look forward to meeting you!

Mission Statement
To collect and distribute boxes of donated clothing and blankets to babies in need.
Description
- Every baby needs to have adequate clothing and blankets
- Numerous people have gently used or unworn baby clothing and blankets that are no longer needed
- There are many mothers and babies in need, including those from military, immigrant, low income and foster families
- Particular attention should be paid to teen mothers and minority populations in San Diego County including Hispanic, African/Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander
- In underserved populations many babies are born pre-term or at a low birth weight and therefore "preemie" sized clothing should also be distributed
- Packages to new mothers will include: blankets, socks, hats, pants, short and long sleeve onesies, sleepers, bibs, and some extra items including overalls, jackets, and dresses
- Packages to new mothers should also include multilingual educational materials about local services available and relevant prevention issues such as SIDS
