Community Connect

Organise a Workplace or Community Collection of Baby Items

Could you organise a collection of baby clothing and hygiene items for us in your workplace, club, community or church?

 

Our hubs are always in need of basic items to use in our BabyBoxes, Hospital Bags and BabyBags, and would be delighted to accept donations of new items to be used to make up these beautiful gifts for the mothers and babies we support!

You can organise your collection in a few simple steps:

  1.  Get in touch with us at fundraising@communityconnect.ie to let us know the planned date & location of your collection.  We will be happy to send you some posters and graphics to use in promoting it!
  2.  Let your colleagues/ friends/ neighbours know about your event, making sure to send the list of items that can be accepted, as well as emphasising that this is a collection of new items only (anyone wishing to donate used items can be directed to our ‘Donate Baby Items’ page).
  3.  Hold your event!
  4.  Contact us to arrange delivery of the collected items to your nearest hub.

 

If you would like to plan your workplace or community collection, please contact Lydia at fundraising@communityconnect.ie and we will be happy to support you!
