There is something incredibly brave about preparing to bring a child into the world — especially while navigating uncertainty, hardship, or starting over 💜
Across several DVPI programs, we are walking alongside expectant mothers who are doing everything they can to create safe, loving futures for their babies. These women are showing up every day with courage, resilience, and hope for the life growing inside them.
As a community, we have the opportunity to remind them they are not doing this alone.
We are currently collecting *new* newborn essentials to help support families preparing to welcome their little ones in the coming months. For the safety of the babies we serve, **all donated items must be brand new.**
Current needs include:
💜 Safe sleep options
👶 Newborn clothing & sleepers
🍼 Bottles & feeding essentials
🧸 Pacifiers, swaddles & comfort items
🛁 Baby care necessities
Items can be purchased directly through our Amazon link:

Or dropped off at:
📍 DVPI
720 19th St NE
Canton, OH
Monday–Friday | 10 AM – 4 PM
Every donation is more than an item — it is a reminder that these mothers and babies are supported, valued, and cared for by their community.
If you’re unable to donate at this time, sharing this post can still make a meaningful impact 💜
