This busy group is helping needy families with baby goods and clothing.
Birth Mark helps underprivileged families and are always looking for donations of baby items, clothing, toys, unopened formula or unused diapers. ‘
The group, which has branches in Toronto and Hamilton, helps ‘marginalized and underprivileged families through the birthing process.’
“We help parents who can’t otherwise afford it with everything they need for a baby,” the group says. “We do not sell anything that is donated for the giving wall, everything goes to families who need it.”
They accept gently-used maternity clothing, baby items, baby clothing under three-years-old and breast pumps. They do not accept any large items such as cribs or furniture.
They will accept brand new (in box) car seats and strollers.
“We serve all pregnant people and parents,” according to their website. “Our clients are marginalized or considered at-risk from experiencing poverty, past traumas and discrimination.”
They rely on our “community partners to refer clients who would most benefit from our support.”
Birth Mark volunteers will pick up the goods on Tuesday and Thursdays.
The group due to COVID-19, has moved most of its clinics and classes online to virtual platform.
