What We Do

Our Baby Bundles

For the Christ Child Society of Monterey Bay, love is the force behind “challenging poverty one child at a time”.  For infants that translates into reducing new parents’ stress by providing much-needed baby clothing, diapers and essentials. We honor each new baby with hand-made blankets, quilts, teddy bears and other items made especially for them by our "Yarns and Stitches" group. We include baby board books and guidance on how to help babies acquire vocabulary words from day one.  Our baby bundles are packed in backpack diaper bags which parents can use for months to come—and which double as changing tables and mini-cribs.

“Your adorable bundles of love touched many lives this year. They brought comfort and hope to moms and babies impacted by the storms from Pajaro all the way to San Ardo. Families who lost their belongings were able to feel the love and prayers from your homemade blankets and teddy bears. The diaper bags are a very practical item and were a big hit in the community too! They all helped our families heal and soothe at times of such despair. Please share our deep gratitude for dedicating your skills and time to comfort mom and babies in our community. Over and over, I heard from the moms that the bundles are a gift from the heavens."
