Help us Fill the Crib for parents/infants! 

 

On September 23rd, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Northgate Mall's Centre Court the Rotaract Club of North Bay-Nipissing is hosting our Fill the Crib donation collection event to help parents and infants at the NICU and accessing the Infant Food Shelf. Given the hardships of the past few years, we encourage those who can to give back to our community.

Where does the money go?

All financial donations made will be split evenly between the NICU and the Infant Food Bank. These donations will help both local organizations in purchasing high-need supplies.
