Hello Good People,
It’s time to update the Baby Closet at Santa Rosa Community Health Lombardi Campus. After two full years of service, we want to standardize and streamline content for easier access and opportunity. This means we are eliminating and adding baby basics.
The approve list consists of:
- Clothing such as onsies, pajamas, sweatpants, t-shirts and socks. Sizes 0 to 2 years or (24 months)
- The greatest need is boys, 6 to 9 months. Boys, boys, boys, and gender neutral.
- Journals for mom’s - any and all. The feedback on journals has been positive. We’ve had plain to beautiful books - some hard cover, some soft, some with pockets, some with locks. These journals encourage dreams, desires, intentions and a feeling of well-being that is mom’s alone.
- Burp Cloths are used often, many times a day. A fat stack of burpees can be depleted in just a few hours. The most loved burpee pattern can be found on the TSW page.
- Receiving blankets – one sided with finished edges or two-sided, flannel on flannel or flannel on one side and cotton on the other side.
- Doll quilts, dollies, or stuffed animals. Also, books that can be read to the babies.
- Small quilts or blankets.
We want to put each set into a big, fabric bag. Lady Mary W made over 100 bags last year and, already this year, 100 more!
Off the list:
- No more Tegan hats. The noggin nubbin was just too problematic. (The Tegan hats will be replaced with super simple, knitted hats, sizes newborn to 6 months.TBA)
- Circle receiver, kerchief, cat friend, knit blankets, and bibs.
Note: any larger sizes will go to the Pediatric Clinic. At this point, the Lombardi Campus wants only sizes 0 to 2 years.
Thank you for giving to the families in our communities that need it the most.
