Therese, Vickie and I are all flying so please do not give us items to take for the Hope for Heroes baby gifts.
Use the Amazon wish list and mail to Julene if you want to donate.
"""Let's have a baby shower! At our MARC Conference, there will be time allotted to put together the baby items that everyone brings. This program assists families in need of essential support. There is an Amazon wish list at https://tinyurl.com/ybjnw5w8 if you would prefer to order and have the package shipped ahead of time. Julene Donnay has graciously agreed to accept all shipments. Items needed are diaper bag, diapers (size 3 is good), bottles, book, diaper rash cream, baby wipes, onesies, towel/washcloth, blanket, pacifier, baby grooming kit. A laundry basket is a great way to use for the bundles and so helpful for the new mom. It would be wonderful if each chapter could donate a baby bundle for our military family expecting a "bundle" of joy! """"
