Ongoing Clothing and Baby Gear Drive
Trish Moylan Davis on Sep 5th 2009
We collect and provide new and used baby and toddler clothes as well as maternity clothes and other baby gear. The center now has a well stocked clothes closet and they are distributed by the teachers who know best the needs of the students and distribute as needed. But stock gets depleted fast so we welcome any donations.
Many of the girls entering the program do not have the funds to cover basic needs. Having clothes that fit well and make them feel good about themselves boosts their self esteem at a very difficult time in their lives. It helps them feel good about participating in the Cal-SAFE program.
Diapers
Did you know that if a student arrives at school without diapers for her baby, the school is required to send her home. That is an easy fix, we supply the diapers and no one gets sent home for not having them!
Bus Passes
Monthly AC Transit students bus passes are sold for $15 each. Most of the girls take the bus to school with their babies in tow, many can not afford the fare. Sponsoring a bus pass is a easy way to help a student stay in school!
These young parents take great pride in taking good care of their babies and we are here to help them. We welcome donations of used items in good condition, new items and cash.
