This month has been filled with lots of firsts for us!

We attended our first event where we got to share information about who we are and how we want to help our community.  We are thankful to the Little Bird Boutique in Newberg for hosting us at their First Friday event.

Little Bird Boutique and Symposium in Sherwood have both partnered with us to provide us with pickup locations for In Kind’s online orders. If you are local, and would prefer not to pay shipping when you order from our shop, please feel free to select local pickup. We are so grateful to both businesses for their support!

December is the season of giving, and we felt it fitting to host a giveaway on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Both winners have been announced. Check back in the New Year for another giveaway.

In Sherwood, there is a nonprofit called Sherwood 4 Kids Sake. They do amazing work to rally the community together to make the holiday season brighter for children in need in our area. In Kind was able to support them this year by providing two boxes to families.

Lastly, we were able to partner with SW Family Physicians in Tigard. We donated a box to them to use as a fun prize for the ladies who receive prenatal care there.

We are very grateful for the kind words, messages, social media support, donations and sales. We could not do this without your support. In Kind Boxes appreciates you!

This month we were very busy gathering the last items for boxes, and putting the finishing touches together. Our boxes contain 13 items in total including: Earth Mama Organics bath and skin care items, a Red Cross baby healthcare kit (including digital thermometer, medicine dropper, infant comb, nail clippers, travel bag, and baby care safety guide), Kindred Bravely reusable nursing pads made with organic bamboo lining, an organic cotton swaddle blanket, an Indestructibles baby book called Hello Farm, a scrunchie made by Lilly & Meg, and a Que Bella coffee scrub and face mask.

On November 15 we got to make our very first delivery of boxes to the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center Women’s Clinic. Then on the 21 we were able to meet with the SHARE- Sherwood Family Resource Center and deliver a few more boxes. It has been very exciting to finally be able to get In Kind’s boxes out into the hands of the mamas they were intended for. That being said, our shop is now open for the sale of our gift boxes. 

If you would like to purchase a box for yourself or as a gift for the holidays, or a baby shower, you can make your purchase on our website. With every box purchased, one will also be donated to a family in need! How amazing is that?! 

If you would like to support In Kind Boxes, but purchasing a gift box isn’t an option, here are other ways you can help:

• Donate to us. You can do that on our website, or through our Facebook or Instagram pages via the donate button on our profile page.

• Add us to your amazon smile account. Remember that each time you shop on amazon, to go to the smile.amazon.com page in order for your purchase to count towards a donation.

• Follow us on social media. By engaging with our posts, it helps other people notice us.

• Word of mouth. Let your friends and family know about us. Maybe they know someone who is pregnant and would love to receive one of our boxes as a gift.

Thank you for following along with us on our journey. We are so excited to be able to do what we are doing! We truly appreciate your support.
