Merryhill Preschool Students in San Jose Donate 300 Baby Supplies

Students at Merryhill Preschool in San Jose recently donated three large laundry bins filled with more than 300 baby supply items to Loved Twice, a nonprofit that provides gently used items to babies in need. For three weeks, students collected infant clothes, bibs, shoes, blankets, hats, socks and more to benefit babies under 12 months old. At the close of the drive, students helped pack and load the items into vehicles for delivery to families in need in the Bay Area. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping other children.

Loved Twice is a nonprofit organization that clothes newborns in need with recycled baby clothing. The organization was founded in 2005 to help infant victims of Hurricane Katrina and has clothed more than 4,500 babies with more than 45,000 pounds of essential garments. Donated items are distributed through social workers in hospitals, shelters and clinics.
