Newborns in Need
Home Life recently hosted the January General meeting with a baby shower for Newborns in Need. A speaker from the organization joined us to share their efforts in helping newborns get basic items such as clothes, blankets and diapers. BSL members brought in new and like-new clothing as shower gits for the organization.
