Needed Items

At Second Stork, we want every newborn to have a safe and healthy start. There is a significant need for basic items like clothing, blankets, diapers, and wipes for many families who are financially stretched. Your donation of these essential items will be packaged and delivered to our hospital partners to be given to families who need them.

Perhaps you, your family members, or friends wish to purchase and deliver these much-needed items to the Second Stork warehouse. If so, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

All donated items should be new. Hospitals cannot distribute used, even gently used, items. Think of clothing and blankets sets as your gifts to new mothers in need. Because of their personal circumstance, these mothers might not be able to benefit from something as simple as a baby shower to help them prepare for their newborn.
Only newborn sizes should be collected. Many infants will wear these items when they leave the hospital and in their first few weeks.

Items specifically needed at this time are:

Sleepers: one-piece cotton, footed sleepers that are worn indoors, day or night, in sizes preemie (P), newborn (NB), 0-3 months
One-piece t-shirts: Gerber® Onesies® brand or similar bodysuit in preemie (P), newborn (NB), 0-3 months
Receiving Blankets: light blankets in cotton or flannel only (we cannot accept fleece or knitted blankets, or quilts for safety reasons)
Diapers: any brand disposable diapers in preemie or newborn sizes only
Wipes: any brand baby wet wipes in unopened packs with plastic pop top lids or resealable soft packs (no refill packages)

If you are interested in purchasing essential items to donate, please contact us at collectiondrives@secondstork.org for details.
