Allergens

Please be careful when submitting donations if you have pets or smokers in your home. The tiny babies we serve (especially those in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) are susceptible to complications arising from the presence of dog and cat hair, smoke, and heavily fragranced detergents and fabric softeners. If you do wash new unused items to rid them of allergens, please iron them afterwards to avoid the "used" look that washing can give them. We cannot give items that appear to be used to the hospitals, even if we know they are brand new. We are able to give gently used items to other organizations, but not the hospitals.
