Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Confirm needs (sizes, formula policy) with your partner agency.

2. Pre-sort sizes (create equal stacks of NB, 1, 2, 3).

3. Build baskets: line with blanket → add diapers (stacked) → wipes → cream → wash → lotion → onesie + socks → pacifier.

4. Add parent note (encouragement + community resources).

5. Shrink-wrap or bag lightly so items stay clean but visible.

6. Label size mix (e.g., “NB/1”) on a tag.

7. Deliver promptly; diapers and wipes are always in high demand.

Bonus Ideas

• Add a laundry detergent sample (baby-safe) or a $10 grocery gift card.

• Create a “twin set” version if requested by your partner.

• If allowed, include a small devotional or prayer card.
