Even though the warmer weather has arrived - especially here in the southern states, we are still working hard on binkies and more. There is always a need for the many items that we collect - year round and children in need have no season. For many kids, a blanket is so much more than warmth - it is a possession that gives them peace and security and allows them to feel love - even when they are sick or hurt and in need. Lovies are also necessary items for survival and a friend when a child is lonely and afraid.
We also have many areas in crisis right now due to recent weather events and many of the children in these areas have nothing left from their homes. A lovie or soft blanket can go a long way in giving them back a little bit of love and security. We also collect baby items - there are always babies in need and mothers who can't provide everything they need to. June is our Virtual Baby Shower month and we will be collecting baby items to send to moms-to-be in need to help them give their new babies a great start in life.
