BABY ITEMS DRIVE | One simple way to help women in crisis
Women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy can often feel overwhelmed, alone, and frightened. We partner with two organizations that help navigate this journey with women and families who find themselves in this spot. Each year in January, we host a baby items drive in partnership with New Life Family Services and ESTHER Homes.
Find the shopping list below. Purchased items should be brought to Five Oaks. This drive runs from January 3-February 1, 2026.
