Frequently Asked Questions

Where will my donation go?

Clothing donations and other baby supplies are shipped to mothers and babies in Nunavut communities. Recipients are selected randomly through a draw of applicant names each month. The number of requests we receive each month for a package is considerably more than we are able to send.

We have also provided baby care packages on request to moms staying at the Medical Boarding Home when in Iqaluit to have their baby or for other medical treatment.

If you have made a monetary donation, it will support the cost of purchasing baby items that we do not have in stock. Most of the items we include in the packages are donated.

Visit our gallery of mothers and babies enjoying their new Baby Care Package items.
