Gift Box Donation Drive

by

As we head into the holiday season, our nonprofit partners have reached out to us to provide the mamas they serve with gift boxes. In November alone, we have gift box donations scheduled with Baby Blues Connection, PDX Diaper Bank, and Raphael House PDX, totaling over 30 gift boxes donated. We have almost double that scheduled for December. To be able to meet this high demand, we are hosting a donation drive. We would love to donate as many gift boxes as needed, to bring joy to mamas during this especially tough time for families.

Since we are a volunteer run organization, all funds you donate go directly back to furthering our mission to help moms. When you make a donation of $50 or more we are able to donate a box to a mom in need. To make your donation extra special, we will be including a lovely card from you to the gift box.

If you are a business, and would like to donate $50 or more, as an extra incentive we will select a post from your business’ Instagram page to share in our Instagram stories, and thank you for your generosity. We love sharing and supporting our favorite small businesses.

Thank you for helping us help moms in need with your donation!

We are so grateful for your support.

September Update

by

In September we were proud participants of the Born This Way Foundation’s #BeKind21 challenge. We spent September 1-21 focusing on acts of kindness we could do for ourselves and for others. It was a great event, and we can’t wait to do it again next year. As part of BeKind21 In Kind was featured in an article by Channel Kindness, and the Born This Way Foundation!! It was very exciting for us and we are so thankful to both organizations for their support!

We also got to donate boxes to one of our newest partners- Clackamas Women’s Services. CWS provides a wide range of support for women, children and families including shelter, crisis support line, counselling and support groups, community education, and culturally specific programming wherever possible. 

In September we hosted two giveaways. The first was with The Conscious Kid. For those who aren’t familiar with The Conscious Kid, they are an education, research, and policy organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development in youth. The Conscious Kid is doing amazing things to help people during this crazy time of COVID like rent relief, mattress donations for kids, book donations to teachers and more. We are so happy to have been able to partner with them to offer gift boxes to their followers.

The second giveaway was with Mapel Boutique. The owner of Mapel is a local mama, and we were so excited to partner with a women run business for this event. Mapel carries many products made by women in the US as well. It’s so amazing when we can come together and support one another for giveaways like this.

At the end of September we posted about an opportunity for Doulas and Midwives to be sponsored in 2021 with a gift box a month for the year. This is a chance for birth workers to provide an extra level of support to families in their care. We’re excited to read all of the entries as they come in! The application deadline is November 1, 2020, and the winners will be notified by December 1, 2020.

Thank you for your continued support of what we do. Your purchases and donations make a true impact. I couldn’t do what I do without you.
