This spirit of giving is not something these ladies do as a holiday tradition; it is a year round act of kindness and generosity.
Army Community Service’s Family Advocacy Program provides baby bundles to military families celebrating the birth of a child. The bundles always include parenting information and books and can include diapers, wipes, onesies, socks, booties, baby toiletries, as well as other items you might find in a layette. Of course, the hand knit- ted and crocheted blankets and sweaters add the finishing touch.
The thing is, you can’t even begin to imagine the joy so many Fort Drum moms have experienced from getting a baby bundle after delivering their child. So many new parents have been touched by the generosity of others. Traditionally, expectant mothers are given baby showers by family and lifelong friends. However, military moms are often separated from their loved ones by states and sometimes even countries. It is a wonderful feeling to wrap your new baby in the warmth of a handmade blanket and know that there are people out there that give their support to honor our soldiers and families here at Fort Drum.
Recently, Army Community Service Family Advocacy educator, Andrea Peck, is now visiting new moms while they are recovering at Samaritan Medical Center’s maternity ward to offer congratulations and hand deliver a baby bundle. Baby bundles can also be picked up at Army Community Service where the entire staff gets to congratu- late mom and hopefully get a peek at the little bundle of joy. Have you ever wondered just how valuable your charitable donation is or who it touches? For more information about Family Advocacy and the baby bundle program, Please call 772-0890 or 772-6556.
