Wee Help
Providing Layettes to Newborns
Members assembling layette packages for mothers in need
Throughout Atlanta, there are mothers in need who would not have proper clothing for their newborns if not for Assistance League. Each year Wee Help purchases new baby items, and members assemble these items into a layette package which are then delivered to our six partner clinics and hospitals. Each layette package contains a gown, footed sleeper, onesie, hooded towel, diapers, wipes, socks and a hand-knitted cap.
In the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025, Assistance League of Atlanta provided 1,200 newborn layette packages to mothers in need. Your gift of $100 will fund five newborn layette packages. If you would like to support this program, click here to make a donation. Thank you for your support.
