Got stuff?

Looking for a great place to donate your outgrown baby supplies....We are happy to take mom or baby items that you'd like to donate (in-kind donations, as this is called in our non-profit world) you will get a tax-deductible receipt.  If you've got some nice stuff and you're done with it, we'd love it!  If you'd like to pay it forward to another parent in need- We Want Your Stuff!

New or like-new baby clothes,
diapers,
maternity clothes,
bedding,
quality twin mattresses (remember it's the worst time of life to try and sleep well),
maternity books,
working computers,
printer paper,
office furniture,
kitchen gadgets,
pots & pans,
pack'n'play's,
dining room table,
alarm clock,

laundry basket,
new toothbrushes,
soap,
new towels,
fuzzy slippers, 
whatever the one special thing was that you had as a parent that brought you peace.

For me, it was the new shampoo and conditioner my sister-in-law gave me when I got home from labor & delivery.  I finally felt like a living woman again!

THANK YOU ALL, look forward to years of change with you!

Huntin' for home

House hunters, taken
Property peekers, awkward
Home tour, not very catchy
Parade of homes, taken
Festival of foreclosures, hmmmm no, not all of them
Property prospects, too stuffy

Well at any rate, we're out looking at homes people!





We'll need some more incoming funding before we pull the trigger on anything, but wanted to get your interest peaked.  We are out looking, in full force, for the right place for Emerge!

If renovations, room-sponsorship and decorating strike your fancy- I would love your help.  We need to get some committed folks (for the work and donations to support the cost) dialed in so we can commit to a property, and make it great for our mom's and babies.

Have a group that wants to serve?  Time or money to give? Know someone who loves house renovations- and would be willing to put in some time & money to help us secure a home?  EMAIL ME!   becca@emergetwincities.org

TWIN CITIES: we are go for launch!
Join us as we set our sights high on raising the funds needed to move ahead.
We are looking for monthly donors, our brick-layers, to secure us in our next step.  We need to raise enough to commit to a safe and healthy facility for mom's & babies.
Are you able to help?

In addition to brick-layers, we are happily accepting annual or one-time donations as well.  Checks, cash, credit cards are accepted (check out our "donate to emerge" page on our website:   emergetwincities.org).  Your donation goes to our IRS approved 501c3 public charity and is tax deductible.
We are on GiveMN.  http://givemn.razoo.com/story/Emerge-Mothers-Academy
Here you can see donation amounts that serve specific needs!

Or, if you have extra home/baby supplies laying around we accept in-kind gifts as well!
