March of Dimes Community Baby Shower
In our last newsletter, we asked for your help making hats and mittens for little ones that could be distributed at the March of Dimes Community Baby Shower in September. We’re pleased to let you know that our volunteers donated nearly 50 hat & mitten sets for this event. Special thanks go to our Rochester work group and especially Rita DayWitt, who crocheted many of the mittens.
Guests at the baby shower attended classes on child safety, fun activities for little ones, and stress management. Each participant received a “goodie bag” that included the hats and mittens from Bundles of Love. Thanks for coming through for this important event!
We’re
Official!
IRS Approval Received
The IRS has approved Bundles of Love for 501(c) 3 status, which means your donations are now tax-deductible. If you would like a receipt for your tax records, please notify your area coordinator or send a written or e-mail request to Bundles of Love president Mary Jo Prinsen. Any donations made since Bundles of Love began operating in February 2001 are tax deductible.
