Layette Ministry
Making a Difference in the lives of mothers and babies
Sponsor a Layette
The purchase of items included in each layette is supported by donations and fundraising. You can help by sponsoring a layette in honor or memory of a loved one. Each sponsorship is $45 . Thank you.
A ministry focused on providing essentials and gift items to mothers and babies. A typical Layette contains diapers, blankets, onesies and a 5-piece clothing set. In addition to these essential items, each layette includes:
-
a book to encourage a mother and child bonding and the first steps in reading.
-
A rattle – to help with parent child bonding and to provide an easy way to assess a baby’s developmental milestones.
-
A hand made item – lovingly created by an LOC volunteer. A tangible sign to the layette recipient of God’s love in the world and the caring of strangers. These items often become family heirlooms that are passed down to future generations.
