Healthy Babies Drive: Local Nonprofit Collecting Much-Needed Items

Keeping kids safe as they grow is a parent’s most essential and challenging responsibility, especially for first-time caregivers. The list of items that a young child needs—diapers, wipes, bottles, diaper bags, and baby gates—is long and expensive, and for families living in poverty, purchasing those necessities comes at the expense of food or other bills.

Kids Above All has launched its Healthy Babies Drive to collect childcare items for young children and new families in its programs. The goal is to ensure they have everything they need to build a strong foundation for their lives together.

“At Kids Above All, we place the safety and well-being of children and families above everything else. Our Healthy Babies Drive ensures the parents and caregivers of the children we impact will have the essential items they need to protect their kids as they grow, so they can build better lives and realize their full potential,” said the President and Chief Executive Officer of Kids Above All, Dan Kotowski.

Kids Above All’s Happy Babies Drive runs through May 15. Donations may be dropped off at the Better Life Distribution Center in Des Plaines or online via the nonprofit’s Amazon Wishlist.
