Welcome Baby Program
Our newborn care kits are provided to recently arrived families who are in need of essential items for their newborn. We want to insure that new baby is given the best start possible by having access to a safe sleeping space, a car seat, diapers and wipes, and clothing that is appropriate for the current season. Help us with our mission to provide these newest Americans with the best start!
If you would like to support the work we do, you can click to the Welcome Baby Amazon wishlist below. You can also make a donation to Friendly House and tag it as Welcome Baby Kits/Office of New Americans. We thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity in helping our newest Americans thrive!
Every baby deserves to be given the best possible start when they arrive. We aim to ensure that newly arrived refugee families have access to the necessary supports to be able to make that happen. Our Welcome Baby kits are provided via referral from our community partners. If you would like to become a community partner, please email us!
