Wee Ones

Are you tired of unused baby items collecting dust around your house? Maybe you’ve tried garage sales and second hand stores. Now what? Before you give the items to a thrift store, please consider donating them to the Wee Ones Care and Share program – a free service for mothers in need of essential maternity and baby items.

There are 24,000 homeless people in Iowa. More than half of them are children. Homeless. Helpless. In need of hope. One simple gesture can restore hope. Join us in making a difference by helping mothers and children in need through your donations.

The Wee Ones Care and Share program is sponsored by Saylorville Baptist Church in conjunction with several Des Moines area churches. The event is organized by a team of moms in an effort to improve the quality of life for women and children in our community. Proverbs 31:20 says “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy”

All collected items will be distributed during the Wee Ones Care and Share event Sept. 19, 2009 at Saylorville Baptist Church to mothers and children in need of essential maternity and baby items. Through this program, we hope to share God’s love for them and help provide support.
