Urgent items

The items list below are needed now and on an ongoing basis. Donations can be dropped off at the work meeting nearest you, or mailed to:

Please include a list of items donated along with your name and address and feel free to ask for a tax-deductible receipt.  Please do not mail directly to the workspace locations since we're not there every day to get the mail.

The South Metro work group urgently needs several volunteers to cut sleepers and gowns. Please contact Claudia Brau at (612) 801-9546 or email .

The North Metro work group had some losses during the July flooding. We’re so grateful to everyone who donated diapers and other supplies to help us recover.  Despite the flood, we were able to donate 60 bundles this month and the South Metro, Rochester and Chatfield groups packed extra bundles and the South Metro group delivered them to all our agencies that we couldn’t help!  Thank you to everyone in those groups.  Thank you also to everyone that helped us clean up after the flood (with mountains of laundry) and helped with the move and reorganization.  We’re looking forward to getting back to the business of making baby clothes in our new workspace.

We desperately need a leader to help with the fundraisers. If you can help, please email fundraising@bundlesoflove.org.
