The Community Service Project
Assemble boxes of baby clothes for local newborns in need. Our volunteer community service project provides a unique opportunity for your employees to participate in a team-building exercise while having a positive impact on the lives of local underprivileged infants. A sorting party lasts about 1.5 hours with 10-30 volunteers.
The Need
Thanks to companies like yours, we have collected, packed and delivered 1.7 million essential baby garments with a value of $6,200,000 to newborns-in-need. Although our outreach is significant, we want to help more infants. We currently have a waiting list of 32 local social service agencies eager to distribute our baby clothing. Sadly we cannot meet the full demand. And the need is great. The stories we hear are heartbreaking. For example, we received a box request for a 15 year old whose parents threw her out of the house for getting pregnant; another for a baby whose father was just murdered; still another for struggling parents who just lost their jobs. As babies are being born everyday, the need is ongoing. The boxes you pack will be hand delivered to social workers at local hospitals and shelters.
What Loved Twice Provides
All items delivered to your site – this includes baby clothes, boxes, tape and boy/girl stickers. A Loved Twice representative will attend the day of the event to coordinate volunteers for a fun community service project. We will also give major kudos to your company via social media by posting photos and highlights from your event celebrating your commitment to the community.
What Your Company Provides
- Volunteers, a location, and community spirit!
- To increase the impact, most companies host a baby clothing drive at their office leading up to the event. It’s easy as hanging supplied signage and sending an email requesting donations of gently used baby clothes in sizes 0-12 months to be dropped off in your lobby.
- A tax deductible $5,000 donation to defray out of pocket costs of the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are several different tasks that volunteers can engage in during a sorting party – from folding and taping cardboard boxes, to sorting clothes by size/age, to actually selecting and folding an assortment of clothes for each box. We find that 1.5 hours provides the time needed for a group of 10-30 volunteers (not including delivery of boxes). Most companies plan events mid-morning or around lunchtime, so that boxes can be delivered the same day.
An open space with several rectangular tables that can be pushed together works best. Since lots of baby clothes will be coming in and out, a ground floor location works best with nearby parking.
