Are There Any Company’s That Give Needy Family’s Free Stuff/coupons?
My very bst friend got a big surprise, a BABY, she did not even know until she was 7 mths, no kidding, she didn’t show or anything, her BF has been looking for a job and is on unimployment, the only thing he has found after about a year is a job as a bouncer and that pays very little, she works for a small art company and does side work with art, she recieved unpaid maternity leave and I believe the reason she has not returned yet is because her BF does have some mentle issues and I believe she is concerned he wouldn’t be able to properly care for an infant, she was a very hardworking person before this. Her mom was able to buy her a crib and car seat but thats all, to make matters worse the child has eye problems, the doctor is worried about glocoma and she has to drive 45 minutes to the apointments atleast once a mth wich eats money in gas. I did th best I could to help her, ( once she finally let me know she is so embarrassed to be unale to do better) they had to buy the baby VERY used stuff, stained crib sheets, broken toys, she couldn’t afford oragel or a teething ring. I did the best I could for them and baought them some new toys and crib sheets and some diapers and such but I can only do so much, these are wonderful people that just need help, I told her to call the catholic charities and they informed her thy would help her once in a 12 mth period and only up to $100 on a rent or utility payment, the baby has medicaid but foodstamps has been giving them the run around, I was considering just calling random companys ( baby food clothes diapers toys first aid ect, food companys, any companys and just asking if they had any programs to to maybe send them some actually good coupons ( I have them signed up at al the useual cupon sites), or perhaps if they have a program for needy people to send out some free products. If anyone knows of any companies I should start with or is familar with any chairities that might help them get back on there feet it would really help out a great family and save alot of wasted time of me just random calling. BTW Florida is our area if that matters.
Please, this is serious so no jokes about birth control or the useual sort of stuff that gets tossed at these very serious question.
thanks

try your local goodwill or consignment store to find some baby clothes…
My heart goes out to this family…May god bless them and their new baby.
It kills me to hear of this. I pretty much grew up this way. What you can try is goodwill ( they provide a ton of community services) . St. vincent de paul, catholic charities and churches. Would they be upset if you tried to get donations? Put jars with a picture and a little info on any counter in any place that will allow you to. I live in Florida too, and I know how bad it is here, but I know people would help if you could only get the word out. God bless you for doing what you are. There should be more people like you. Send me an e-mail if there is anything I can do. Maybe we live close enough to each other and I can Give you a hand.
get the phone numbers off the labels and call the companies. beechnut baby food has excellent coupons as does Huggies diapers if you use a coupon and get them on sale. Johnson & johnson offers a “new parents Pack” with coupons and samples of different products (what ever is available @ the time) your best best is to grab a note pad and pen head to the nearest store with a large baby selection and start writing down phone numbers. Make sure they check out WIC also ask the pediatrician office for samples. See if local churches do any sort of rummage sales or clothing swaps. I live in PA and we have a clothing swap at a church here where you take in your kids old clothes to swap with other parents for clothes in sizes you need. Also check out the free samples on walmart.com they often have diapers samples on there and check out luvs leak promise (if u aren’t”t happy send 1 diaper, upc and receipt for refund) have family and friends sign up for the same offers for them. Hope this helps also try locating a local crisis pregnancy center type charity or organization… they can help with other things as well up here they can help with diapers, clothes, toys, parent education as well as mentoring and helping the parents get in touch with other needed resources. Family Planning or Planned Parenthood may be able to help you locate more resources in your area.
