MASS is committed to supporting our community. I am reaching out to our valued partners, local businesses, and generous supporters with an urgent request for assistance. One of our program participants has recently given birth to a baby girl at 26 weeks gestation following a sudden medical emergency, and both mother and infant are currently receiving medical care. This premature birth has created an immediate need for essential newborn supplies. We kindly request your support in the form of new or gently used baby girl items, including infant clothing, bassinets, car seats/carriers, blankets, wipes, diapers, and other newborn essentials. Your contribution will directly support a family navigating a critical and unexpected situation. To coordinate donations, please contact Jennifer at 1401 Tidewater Dr, Norfolk, VA, jfields@massva.org, 757-232-9986, or Chanel at cfuller@massva.org, 757-904-0058. Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to community well-being. A community is only as strong as their unity.
