Please visit The New Mom Project Facebook Group to donate baby items to families in need.,

Upon joining the group, you can click here to read the How to Donate post. | “The New Mom Project is a registered charity based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

We are committed to serving new and expecting parents in need.

While our donation centre is permanently closed, families continue to need help. We evolved to provide support virtually to new parents in need.
