2015 Goshen Rally - Heartland Baby Blessings (HBB)

Since i'm not a betty homemaker who sews, knits, etc., i'll bring some store bought stuff like diapers and wipes. Hope this helps.

Byrd, those items will most definitely help! I know from the Baby Blessing in Urbanna, VA, those items are needed along with the blankets, booties and hats. Handmade items along with store bought items are great. I decided to not crochet blankets this year and have been working on hats and booties. I have been scouring Goodwills in the different areas that we travel for nice, gently loved crocheted and knitted blankets.

Hey Byrd....I'm not a Betty Homemaker either when it comes to handcrafting ANYTHING! Diapers and wipes are always needed and it will be wonderful if our HOC can donate a wide variety of essentials for babies in need. I am bringing safety items, like cabinet locks and outlet plugs in addition to baby food. Many thanks in advance for your store bought items that will be appreciated so much.

An invitation to the Heartland Baby Blessings Turn-In and Luncheon was sent out today via email to registered rally attendees (as of 17-Apr).

If you're making/buying/donating items/supplies for this Heartland Gives Back initiative, you're invited to join us at the Turn-In and Luncheon. But we do need a head-count.

Below is a copy of the email that was sent out. And here's a link to the RSVP form. Please follow the link to sign-up to join us at the Turn-In and Luncheon.

I thought I'd share this idea for our non-crafters. This year I have been visiting the local Goodwill-type stores in the areas where we are visiting. I try to find handmade and/or interesting blankets in good to excellent condition. Today (April 28), I found these 5 blankets at a local Nashville, TN, Goodwill and spent less than $20 for them.
