April Showers of Love: Baby and Toddler Gear Donation Drive

By /

From maternity clothing to baby gear to toddler necessities – expanding your family requires a lot of new stuff! Together we can help gather the essential gear for growing families in our community.

All donated items will be distributed at the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation’s (CAFF) Family Day. This event will bring together growing and expecting families currently living on a limited income for a day of joy, community connection, and essential support. Each participating family will receive basic necessities, children’s clothing, and baby gear to help them raise healthy children.

Impact

Kids will learn the value of a circular economy through extending the life of baby and toddler products by passing along those items they no longer need to families who could use some extra support.

Pregnant moms and growing families in the Milwaukee area will get the supplies they need to raise healthy kids! These essential supplies will reduce stress, improve maternal health and help support healthy birth outcomes and healthier children.
