Diaper Bag

   

When refugees come to the United States, they arrive with no money, no food, no home and very few possessions.  Many have small children and no means by which to provide items necessary in our culture for child care.

You can help these refugee parents by providing a "Diaper Bag."  Your gift will provide the items needed for baby care and hygiene.  Your support during a refugee's first week in our community greatly facilitates their transition and acculturation.

The following items should be included in a diaper bag:

12 cloth diapers
3 pair plastic pants*
1 tube baby ointment
1 small box baby detergent
3 baby bottles
3 extra nipples
1 pacifier
4 diaper pins
1 bib
1 bar baby soap
1 bottle baby shampoo
1 baby toy (rattle)
1 towel
soft wash cloths
baby wipes

*Diaper Bags can be made with small, medium or large plastic pants.  A variety of sizes are needed for children of different ages.  Please label the bag with the appropriate size of  plastic pants.
