Love Thy Baby volunteers continue to produce record numbers in support of infants born in need. Second quarter 2015 tallied as the
largest "second quarter" deliveries in our 15 year history! We delivered 8,467 items, which was a 16% increase over 2014.
On a year to date basis, in the first half, we have increased our total donations out by 30% over 2014, which was already a record year for us! Especially noteworthy is the continued growth in our handmade items which is the daily work of our volunteers. We recorded a 38% growth year to year on our handmade items.
Parkland continues to receive the majority of our donations out, a total of 15,001 in the 1st half of 2015, an increase of almost 2,500 items year to year, but we are also able to increase our donations out to every other agency we support: Sharing Life, Nexus, Family Place, Hope 4 Refugees, and John Peter Smith Hospital all received more items than in 1st half of 2014.
Here are the delivery totals by month:
