SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere!

For this activity, you will work with your family at home to make infant kits for Foster Village Austin. By providing families with infant kits, your family alleviates the financial burden of welcoming a new baby to the family.

You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.

Activity Directions

Purchase 4-6 of the following items to include in your infant kit and put them in a large Ziploc bag or small plastic storage bin for easy storage and delivery.

Items to include:

• Sleep sacks (variety of sizes and weights)
• Cloth books
• Lovies
• Toys (6m-3y)

You can purchase supplies for and make as many kits as your family is able to donate. We recommend making 1 infant kit, but any amount you can put together is appreciated.

Once your family gets started, be sure to take pictures as your family works together on this project so we can certify your submission when you are done.
