Help Bet on Better by SEPTEMBER BABIES BAG DRIVE for Babies
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
50 Baby Bags • 50 Little Beginnings Dear Good Guys, This September, Bet On Better NPO would love to take on a very special challenge: **putting together 50 baby bags for babies and young families in the communities we support.** Every baby deserves to enter the world with warmth, dignity, and the basic things they need. Unfortunately, for many of the families we work with, these simple essentials are not always affordable. So, this September, we want to change that one baby bag at a time. ### WHAT WILL BE IN EACH BABY BAG? Each bag will contain practical essentials for a new baby: * Nappies * Wet wipes * Baby powder * Baby shampoo * Baby soap * Bum cream * Newborn clothing * Booties * Baby blanket * Receiving blanket * Beanie Our goal is to make **50 complete baby bags**, which means we need to collect enough supplies to fill all 50. HOW CAN THE GOOD GUYS HELP? There are a few ways you can come alongside us: Sponsor a Baby Bag Sponsor one or more complete bags and help us purchase the essentials needed to put them together. Donate Baby Essentials You can choose an item — or several items — from our list and help us build the 50 bags. Run a Collection Drive Get your friends, family, colleagues, customers or community involved and collect baby essentials on our behalf. Help Us Reach All 50 If you would like to partner with us more substantially, you can help sponsor or supply the contents for several bags — or help us reach our full target of 50. JOUR SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE 50 BABY BAGS 50 LITTLE BEGINNINGS **ONE COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER** We don't expect one person or organisation to do everything. If everyone does **something**, together we can do something incredible. One packet of nappies. One pack of wipes. One little outfit. One warm blanket. One complete baby bag. Each donation may seem small on its own, but when we bring them together, they become a beautiful welcome for a baby and a little bit of relief for a family. We would love the **Good Guys** to be part of this journey with us. Let's fill 50 bags, wrap them with love and remind 50 families that **their babies matter and their community cares.** With heartfelt thanks, Bet On Better NPO Together, we can bet on better. --- ### BABY BAG COLLECTION LIST | Item | Needed for 1 Bag | Needed for 50 Bags | | ----------------- | ----------------------: | -----------------------: | | Nappies | 1 pack | 50 packs | | Wet wipes | 1 pack | 50 packs | | Baby powder | 1 | 50 | | Baby shampoo | 1 | 50 | | Baby soap | 1 | 50 | | Bum cream | 1 | 50 | | Newborn clothing | 1 set | 50 sets | | Booties | 1 pair | 50 pairs | | Baby blanket | 1 | 50 | | Receiving blanket | 1 | 50 | | Beanie | 1 | 50 | | **TOTAL** | **11 items/components** | **550 items/components** | **Our September goal: 50 complete baby bags.** *Every bag is one more baby wrapped in care, dignity and love.*
