Every month, CCS distributes up to 40 layette gift bags to families in need in Snohomish County who have just had a new born baby. The layette consists of many baby items to help the family care for their newborn child, including diapers size one, onesies, T-shirts, diaper wipes, booties, sleepers, washcloths, blankets, bottles, pacifiers, rattles, toys and more. To a family with little or no money, this makes a huge difference for their new little one. The families served by the Infant Layette Program are referred by public health nurses, health districts, DSHS, churches, and treatment facilities. Providence Midwifery Center at Everett Women’s Pavilion-Providence Hospital is one of our big referral sources. This program assists families in our community with the fundamentals for taking care of a new baby. We are told by those that refer to this program that we are one of very few agencies in our community doing this important work for new babies! This program is not grant funded, and it depends on donations. For the past 20 years, churches, community groups, and individual community members have been the reason that so many families have been helped.
