CSR & RPC Interfaith Team Up for Baby Box Outreach
Help Community Synagogue of Rye & Rye Presbyterian Church Make a difference in May with Baby Boxes at Open Door Medical Centers.
It’s hard to believe that in the wealthiest country on earth, there are parents who wonder how they are going to feed, house and care for their children. Open Door Family Medical Center is our community’s health home for these people.
Please join the Congregations of Rye Presbyterian Church and Community Synagogue of Rye as we launch a month-long programming to support new moms giving their babies a healthy and safe start in life.
The Collection: Join us May 7th through June 2nd collecting items to make Baby Boxes for the moms and their babies. What’s a Baby Box? It’s a remarkably designed cardboard box filled with newborn basics that include a waterproof mattress and cotton sheet so the box can be used as the baby’s first bed or bassinet. There are Baby Boxes on display in the Chapel Foyer, the hall outside the first floor Welcome Office and in the RPNS entrance way. There are many things a newborn may need and Open Door has registered at Buy, Buy, Baby just for us!

Please feel free to leave donated items in each of the empty Baby Boxes in the three designated sites any time during the drive.
