📣 VENDORS WANTED — WALK TO REMEMBER 2026 📣

We’re looking for a few special vendors to join us for our Walk to Remember on October 24th! 🤍

This is a day centered around remembrance, love, healing, and community as we honor babies who are forever loved and missed.

We’d love to have vendors who offer things such as:

Baked goods & sweet treats
Memorial jewelry & keepsakes
Self-care items
Handmade gifts & meaningful products
Pregnancy & infant loss resources
Services or resources that may support grieving families
Food truck — we already have one that is serving coffee!

If you have a small business, organization, or resource that you feel would be a meaningful addition to this day, we’d love to hear from you!

There is NO vendor fee. We simply ask that you bring something that can provide comfort, connection, encouragement, or joy to the families joining us.

📅 October 24, 2026
⏰ 9 AM–12 PM

🤍 This October, as we gather for our Walk to Remember 2026, we want every family to have the opportunity to honor their baby by placing their name along our walkway.

Imagine walking together and seeing the names of so many precious babies lining the path—each one representing a story, a family, a love that never ended, and a loss that changed a life forever. 🤍

Help us fill the walkway with their names.
Let every step be a reminder that these babies mattered.
Let every name be a reminder that their lives had meaning.
Let every family know that their baby is remembered here.

Remembrance signs are available to order for $15.

We are incredibly grateful to Postal Depot for partnering with Hope in the Waiting and helping us make these signs affordable for families.

For every family who still says their name.
For every love that will last forever.

Each sign will be displayed along the walkway during the event on October 24th, creating a beautiful path of remembrance filled with the names of the babies who will always be loved and remembered. 🩷🩵

🍁 Remembering Our September Babies 🍁

This month, we hold close the memory of the precious babies connected to September. Whether this month marks a due date you never got to celebrate, a birthday you ache to honor, or the sacred day your baby passed, we see you. And we remember with you.

Every baby matters. Every story matters. Every life—no matter how brief—left an imprint of love that time cannot erase. 💛

To every parent carrying the weight of loss this month, may you feel surrounded by gentleness, hope, and the reminder that you are not alone.

If you’d like to share your baby’s name or story in the comments, we would be honored to remember with you.
