Nearly 17,000 babies were born at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas last year...over 85% went home with nothing...not even a blanket to keep them warm. The mothers of these tiny babies are the working poor in our community. Many do not have heat in their homes and some are even homeless. Others work two, three, even four jobs to keep a roof over their head.  During the winter months it is especially important that these babies have something warm to wear.

Little Angels is a nonprofit organization providing desperately needed layettes, free of charge, to the poor mothers at Parkland. Currently, Little Angels provides 50 layettes each week...but there is a need for at least 280 each week. Each layette includes a diaper bag, an outfit, a blanket, a cap, pair of socks/booties, a bottle, a pacifier and 2 bibs. Additional items such as diapers, baby care items and formula are included when available.

You, your group, church or business can help by donating a complete layette or by donating individual items to be combined into a layette for the babies. All items should be new. Donations are tax deductible and 100% goes directly to the babies. Please make a difference today so that another baby does not have to shiver from the cold tonight!
