Hi Friends,

After a successful virtual fundraiser this Mother’s Day, I was overjoyed to join some of my fellow MOMS heart MOMS collaborators in a box-packing luncheon for Welcome Baby USA.

Welcome Baby is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support new mothers in need. By providing boxes of essential items to hospitals and institutions in underserved communities, they ensure that new mothers across the country are able to provide for their baby despite financial need. These boxes contain critical supplies needed for the first month of life, including sanitary items, grooming items, and clothing.

The founders of Welcome Baby, Sarah Steinhardt and Juliet Fuisz, took on an incredible responsibility born out of their own post-partum experiences, and I am honored to give back alongside some of my favorite mom-founded brands.

Our beautiful event was hosted at the home of Neha Ruch of Mother Untitled. By providing a space, we were able to gather and pack boxes together.

The boxes were enhanced with special donations from mom-founded brands: soft bibs from Weezie and Timo and Violet, and Naghedi pouches as special gift for mom.

We also engaged in watercolor painting, led by Sally of The Letter Nest. The hand-painted cards were added to the boxes with positive messages for the receiving mothers.

The event’s refreshments were generously donated by mom-founded companies. Stocked by Three Owls catered the event, Well provided water, Sophie James provided wine, and Maman provided sweet treats and favors to take home.
