VLC held a drive at the Hartland Walgreens, Pewaukee Wal-Mart and the Oconomowoc K Mart. They collected a mountain of diapers, wipes, formula and other baby items for Healthy Families. They are an organization who work with families who are struggling, offering support and education. The month of March donators filled the drop off site with gently used clothing and baby gear to share. 3 cribs, 2 double strollers, 3 single strollers, 4 car seats, 2 exersaucers, an infant swing, 10 boxes of clothing, and 2 boxes of
infant toys were collected. Arrowhead High School Key Club distributed 1,000 fliers and bags into the community and collected baby items. Thanks to the 40 + volunteers who made this happen! A HF caseworker shared: A BIG THANKS TO VLC! We were thrilled with all that you were able to collect for the baby shower. Your group just amazes us! Our families will be so thankful that we have things to share with them. For so many families, the tough economic times have forced them to make some very difficult decisions about how to make their limited dollars strectch to meet all of their needs. You have been a big part in making this be a less stressful time and to assure that the babies have what they need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts~
(VLC will ALWAYS accept donations of pack & plays, cribs (a soda can cannot fit through the rails), and saftey gates throughout the year!)
