New Arrival Donation Center

This newborn care kits are provided to recently resettled 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 brand new car seat, plenty of 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! 

Please note that at this time, we do not have any welcome baby kits available. Referrals to UMass injury prevention can be placed to secure a carseat for infants, and if the family is in shelter their shelter provider can provide them with a safe sleep space.

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 provide families with a car seat, pack n play, and other essentials based on donations which may include strollers, baby carriers, diaper bags with essentials, clothing, baby blankets and more.
