Check out these beautiful handmade blankets that were lovingly donated for BPPN program families. These thoughtful gifts provide warmth, comfort, and a reminder that our families are supported by a caring community.

We greatly appreciate handmade donations for our babies and children, as well as new items that help families welcome and care for their little ones.

If you have handmade (or new) blankets, hats, booties, quilts, or other new items to donate, we would love to hear from you! Every gift helps bring comfort and joy to a child and family in need. https://bit.ly/3JWlrSv
