The ladies at Right Start support some of the most desperate cases of babies, solo mothers and poor families. I have run notices on Neighbourly before and so many wonderful generous people have donated their no longer needed baby clothes. I am doing it again now because the cupboards are bare at Right Start.
If you have any baby clothes or items you would like to donate (in good clean condition please) could you please drop them off at Wild Poppies, 28 Ethel Street, Sandringham. I will be doing a run out to Mangere for drop off Friday 16 August.
