Big thanks to everyone who made our Winter Essentials Drive a success!

With your help we collected three overflowing bins of diapers, menstrual pads and toilet paper to help our immigrant neighbors.

These days are steeped with fear and uncertainty for many which makes going to the store and to work a risky, stressful undertaking. Mutual aid is one way we can come together to care for our community.

If you would still like to donate please contact Merriah.
Shout out to Sellwood Community House for their partnership.

“At IMAC, we have seen a consistent, increasing demand for more food from the community. In the past year, there has been less and less food available to us to distribute due to the number of other sites also experiencing record visits. There was a 31% increase in visits to sites across Oregon in 2024 over 2023. “ -IMAC, April 25’

When we work together, we can achieve so much good for our community. We cannot always wait for funding and support from our government to help our communities thrive. We have to figure out a way to get what we need by working together. If we all make a small contribution, together our impact will be great. Join us in supporting the Immigrant Mutual Aid Coalition.

Will you help us reach our goal of fulfilling IMACs target wishlist? All donations go directly to families in need of essential supplies, including diapers and hygiene products. With the help of our amazing community we have fulfilled 52 items of IMACs target wishlist, and there are lots more items to go! There is just one more day left to donate. Will you help us get there?

Join us in letting our immigrant neighbors know that we welcome them to our community and know we are stronger when we work together to care for one another.

At Bridgetown Baby, we believe we are an interconnected, powerful force for good in the world. Each May, in honor of mothers everywhere, we bring our community together to support an effort that is making life better for families.

Last year you helped us meet our most ambitious Mamas Day fundraising goal yet! Through your generosity and a grant provided by a dedicated donor, we raised $12,000 last May for Portland New Family Fund (PNFF). Our efforts helped provide low income families with access to wraparound birth, postpartum and lactation care. This year we are proud to focus our fundraising efforts on The Immigrant Mutual Aid Coalition (IMAC).

Donate today by purchasing much needed items on their target wishlist and help immigrant families receive the essentials they need to thrive.

Thank you for continuing to help make our Mamas Day fundraising efforts a great success for the many families who receive support, care and community from IMAC.

In celebration of Mamas Day, we’re also inviting you to join us in supporting other fierce mamas who are living in fearful and uncertain times - as immigrants in a country that is increasingly unwelcoming.

Each May, we bring our community together to support an effort that is making life better for families. This year we are putting our combined strength behind the Immigrant Mutual Aid Coalition (IMAC), and the work they do to reduce health disparities and equity gaps for immigrant families in our community.

We believe that all families deserve safety, security, and support so they can thrive.

Click the link below to make a purchase at IMAC’s wishlist. Every gift goes directly to families navigating the territory of parenting and politics with fierce love. Thank you for joining with us.

In solidarity,

Your Bridgetown Baby Team
