More information
Basically Babies is a registered charity that works to provide for the basic outfitting needs of newborn babies born to families in extreme need in the greater Edmonton area. We offer the gift of a complete first year's wardrobe for these infants in the form of a beautiful color-coordinated basket filled with clothing, outerwear, blankets, toys, storybooks, sleepers, undershirts, footwear and other baby essentials. We call these packaged gifts "layettes". The layettes we provide contain 90 to 110 items which, if purchased new, would cost well in excess of $1,100. While some of our items are new, we utilize a significant amount of gently-used clothing and baby items donated to us in excellent and "like-new" condition for this purpose. Our full year wardrobes are delivered to the recipient families through a variety of charitable organizations, non-profit groups, social service agencies and health care agencies who are working with these families on a long-term basis to develop and build life skills.
