GivingTuesday is December 3, 2024 and this year the Sanctuary Outreach Pregnancy Support Program has expanded the opportunity to give! We are collecting hospital bag items from Tuesday, December 3 – Tuesday, December 17, 2024. Make an in-kind or monetary donation and help mamas who need it the most!
The Sanctuary Outreach Pregnancy Support Program endeavours to assist pregnant women facing difficult circumstances. One practical way we do this is through our Hospital Bag Fund, in addition to our other services and support. This fund provides hospital recommended essentials, packed in a travel bag, for the hospital stay immediately after delivery. The provision of a hospital bag not only assists the mother as she prepares for delivery but also communicates to her that she and her baby are valued.
