There are many programs that offer free baby stuff for low income families such as an infant car seat, free formula, free diapers, baby samples, food and more. Sadly with many programs like these they are not just listed somewhere in your town for all to find. It takes research or a bad situation and someone willing to help or offer the resources to you. Oftentimes unplanned pregnancies happen and you have had no time to plan and save money or you have little to no money to spend on a new baby.
Fortunately, there are many resources for free baby stuff. You just need to know where to look.When you don’t have a lot of money coming in every little bit helps and with so many families struggling today to provide basic needs these resources are essential. The number one place to call to find some of these resources is 2-1-1. This is a telephone number to call that connects you with important community services and programs.
If you know of any national programs, and would love to share please let me know below and I will be happy to add them to the list.
