Help Stock Our New Green Bay and Oshkosh Boutiques! | | | |
Moms and dads participating in our Support Services Program receive free items such as diapers, baby clothes, and the many other essentials needed to care for their little ones. Every contribution directly supports families in need, helping them feel loved and cared for. We invite individuals, small groups, and churches to partner with us in helping stock our Oshkosh and Green Bay Little Dear Boutiques so we have the provisions necessary to bless the families we serve.
Host A Donation Drive and Use Our Registry To Help You
To streamline the process, we created a registry highlighting our most current and needed items in each community. You can use the registry as a guide for what items your church can collect for our boutiques. If your church is interested in helping stock our boutiques, please conact Liv at
920-955-3772 ext.1009 or email olorbiecki@vidacares.org.
| | Please note that the registry links are still being updated. We recommend bookmarking them to stay informed on the latest additions and details. | | |
