Usually the larger food pantries deal only in food, but small and sometimes religious or church based food pantries also are happy to have baby items. If you are affiliated with any religious organizations, ask if there is anything or anyone they are collecting for.</p> <p>Families adopting from overseas also are often asked to bring new or like-new baby clothing and items with them, so if you know of any families who are adopting or adoption agencies, they might be willing to take things, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1404174 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 01:34:04 +0000 Deborah 1404174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes contact the women's shelter.&nbsp; I am in a different country but can I tell you that well cared for and/or new baby clothes are such a blessing to some people. I have seen people donate baby clothes that have food and/or poo stains...honest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1404149 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:13:53 +0000 Anonymous 1404149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Claudia,&nbsp;The local women's shelter took all my gently used baby/pregnancy clothes, opened diaper blocks, hand pump, nursing pillow, and much more. The gentleman who took it out of the back of my car seemed very grateful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1404030 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 20:04:08 +0000 N-Marie 1404030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had similar issues with my 9 lb babies. I donated baby clothes and maternity clothes&nbsp;to a local Spanish-speaking church that sends regular shipments to Guatemala. IMO opinion, it makes more of an impact there than in the local Goodwill in my HCOL&nbsp;area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1403987 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 18:40:09 +0000 Gaylene 1403987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are there any schools in your area that cater to pregnant teenage mothers. I volunteered to tutor and supervise in a local out-reach program for these young moms-to-be in our area. Most of the young women were on very tight budgets and we were always searching for clothing that would fit newborns, along with other baby items to help them out. Maybe your local hospital or health agency can put you in touch with similar programs in your community? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1403985 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 18:36:07 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1403985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a local freecycle list? You could post them and see if there's another mom who would be able to use them and then pass them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1403975 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 18:18:45 +0000 Claudia 1403975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Contact the women's shelters in your area. Some cater to&nbsp;homeless pregnant women, others to women fleeing domestic abuse along&nbsp;with their babies and children. The staff will tell you if they'd like to take your items. I'd think there would be a need and they'd be really appreciated.</p> <p>Local churches or church groups&nbsp;might also be able to direct a donation of this type.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donating-baby-clothes#post-1403969 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 17:56:01 +0000 Thistle 1403969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of my daughters were well over 9 pounds when born. At 5 weeks, DD2 is already outgrowing 0-3 months (she never fit newborn).</p> <p>This has left me with a lot of outfits worn once, or never worn (washed though and all ready!)</p> <p>I normally donate to Goodwill as it is easy. But, frankly, it does little to help others. At least, where I live</p> <p>Wondering if there is another charity better about maybe just giving the clothes to those who need them. I know they don't still have have tags on them, but I am not kidding when I say they were either never worn or worn once, maybe twice. Most are 100% cotton from Carter's, Oshkosh B'gosh, and Little Me.</p> <p>Or, perhaps there is not much need for baby clothes as they don't wear them long. </p>
