Operation Baby Box

Help families and babies in the Gulf Coast region who have lost everything!  Operation Baby Box is a way for pro-life individuals, families, church groups and others to directly impact the lives of those devastated by Hurricane Katrina.  It’s really pretty simple!
 
1.  Buy a bank box – the kind used to store files and documents.  They are made of sturdy cardboard, come flat and must be folded into box shape, have lids and are available at most stores that stock office supplies. 
 
2.  Choose a gender and age category for “your” baby.  Cut out the appropriate label and check the age group for which you will be packing the box.  Click here for Baby Boy label or Baby Girl label.
 
3.  Refer to the shopping list below and purchase the items required for the age group you have chosen.
 
4.  Pack the items neatly in the box – start with the diapers on the bottom, and then work your way up from there.  It will all fit – you just might have to be creative!  (Please leave all food items and utensils in their original packaging.)
 
5.  Once you have filled the box with all of the necessary items, you may have some room left over.  Feel free to be creative, as long as it’s appropriate and in no way culturally insensitive.  (Examples: a special pair of baby booties or homemade item, an inspirational book or small Bible for the parents, a small toy item, any other baby item you think might be useful.)
 
6.  Take a moment to write a note of encouragement to the parents of the baby who will be receiving the box.  Remember – many of these people have lost everything, and are relying upon the kindness of strangers to have their basic needs met.  An encouraging word will likely go a long way!
 
7.  Securely tape the lid of your box in place, make sure the handle holes of the box are covered with tape (so nothing falls out or is stolen en route) and affix the label to the outside of the box on one end.
 
8.  Address your box to the pregnancy resource center of your choice from the list below and send it via U.S. mail or UPS – whichever is cheaper in your area.

9.  Continue to pray for the baby and family that receive your box, and for all of those in the hurricane devastated region.
