Big Baby Drive with the YWCA

Local non-profit organization One Big Movement (OBM) is asking for your help to make a difference in the lives of those that need it most. BC has held the highest child poverty rate in Canada for the eight consecutive years, with the number of children living below the poverty line increasing by 16,000 since 2010. This need sparked the Big Baby Drive, a two-day event being held at the Oakridge Centre exterior North Parking Lot, on March 22nd and 23rd from 10 am to 4 pm. There, OBM will be collecting infant basics including:

• Unopened baby food, baby wipes and body, skincare & shampoo products
• New blankets, clothes and bedding
• New diapers (open boxes are okay - any size is great, but sizes 4,5 and 6 are highest in
• demand)
• Baby monitors, speakers and breast pumps
• Strollers, car seats, highchairs, cribs and mattresses
• Toys (nursery, bath, developmental, playhouses, etc.)

Monetary donations will also be accepted. All proceeds will go to YWCA Metro Vancouver, a fantastic non-profit organization whose core service area focuses on supporting single mothers and their families.
