Baby2Baby supplies Los Angeles families in need with essential baby gear and clothing for their children 0-4 years old. We distribute new and gently used items through a network of community-based organizations.
We need volunteers every Monday and Wednesday from 10:30 am until 1:00 pm to help sort and clean donations. The third Wednesday of the month we need volunteers to help distribute clothes and gear to our community-based organizations. This is a good way to connect with the organizations we serve.
