SwaddleKeeper Supports Our Community

Scrap Fabrics are donated to locals

Some of the scrap fabric is donated to a local home school family who uses the fabric for quilting and learning how to sew.

Another recipient of the fabric scraps is making small bags that her church uses to fill with toiletries for the homeless.

Nothing ever goes to waste! Since we manufacture the SwaddleKeepers here in the USA, we keep the fabric scraps for many projects! My parents have taught me, "waste not, want not!"

The New Parent Services of Hood River and Families First of Wasco and Sherman counties help families with children under eight years of age. Part of a multi-group coalition called the Families First Network, they employ the Healthy Start home visitation model to provide support and educational services to first-time parents and their children. In addition to home visits, other services include welcome baby visits, parent support groups, playgroups, parenting classes, a lending library and an educational newsletter.

SwaddleKeepers are Used by Childbirth Instructors

SwaddleKeepers were donated to: LeAnn Childs, Instructor

I work as an independent consultant for a small hospital. We are 1 hour south of Rochester, NY. I teach about 4 - 12 moms-to-be a series of 7 classes and teach 6+ of these series. The closest place we have to shop is our local Walmart and Wegmans (a grocery store). I like providing my students with a wide variety of information so that when they do go to someplace other than Walmart, they can have an idea of other products that are out there. Many times, if I have multiple samples, I use them as incentives for class attendance/participation.

SwaddleKeeper Donates to "Shower of Love"

Thank you for the 40 SwaddleKeepers we received last week! We are so thrilled to receive them and share them with the teen parents and babies in our community for the second annual Shower of Love scheduled for April 10, 2008!

It is heartwarming to experience the generosity of companies like SwaddleKeepers. I appreciate the thought that Roxanne has prayed for each one of these teen parents and babies that have received a SwaddleKeeper!

I also LOVE your company's promotion of "family first" and "sew-at-home moms." As moms, we need to support and encourage one another while we are trying to contribute financially to our family. What a wonderful opportunity you are giving to Moms in your community.

I just wanted to send you a quick note and thank you again.

Sincerest regards,
