PURPOSE:

The Stork Project provides Welcome Bundles that are given to low income new moms by New Hampshire Social Workers. The Social Workers have an established relationship with the mom and the Welcome Bundle is a gift for the new baby.  Each Welcome Bundle contains 10-15 of gently worn items of clothing, suitable for a boy or girl, along with booties, hats, socks, and bibs. The items are wrapped in a new blanket or quilt that is made especially for the baby by Project Linus. The clothing is donated by moms who showered their babies with love. When the Welcome Bundle is opened all the love contained in the clothes washes over the new mother and her baby.  Currently Welcome Bundles are given out by Social Workers at:
