Baby Bundles was born from heartbreak, started by Emily Harry, Heather Leavitt and Cat Long in 2011, three local women dedicated to supporting other mothers while honoring their children lost at or shortly after birth. The world never had the honor of getting to know Low, Catherine, Joseph, Sarah, and Mary. Baby Bundles has become their tender legacy. "A gift from our little angels," Heather says.
Baby Bundles has experienced significant programmatic growth over the past five years, and we are projected to deliver 3,000 bundles this fiscal year. Our organization has grown from distributing 75 bundles in 2011 to over 13,000 lifetime bundles distributed! Our team of tireless volunteers, passionate board members, and dedicated staff work together to collect, organize, and distribute baby items such as clothing, blankets, developmental toys and books. Through the generosity of donors and community supporters, we are able to provide these critical resources to families facing difficult circumstances. It is our hope that a bundle can provide some relief from the inherent stresses of parenthood and more capacity to focus on fostering safe and nurturing environments for their little ones. Our dedication to collaborating with community partners and highlighting their comprehensive support underscores our involvement in the collective movement in Charlotte to address the systemic issues faced by our families.
Join us in our mission to build a stronger, more caring community for the youngest members of our city - and those that care for them. Whether you’re interested in donating, volunteering, or becoming an advocate for our programs, your involvement with Baby Bundles is a meaningful step toward building a brighter future for our children. Together, we can ensure that our bundles continue to strengthen community, care and love.
- Our goal for 2024 is to deliver 3,000 bundles to families living in financial need in our community.
- We have lots of volunteer opportunities for corporate partners, community groups and individuals available year-round!
- Many of our bundles are assembled with great care and love by local school children who come to Baby Bundles as a field trip or with their families.
