Lollipop Tree Nursery helps St. Agnes Home babies in West Hartford

The Lollipop Tree Nursery School's Parents Association recently coordinated a school-wide baby clothing and baby item drive to benefit the young moms at St. Agnes Home in West Hartford, resulting in one of the largest donations the home has ever received. 

"The tremendous outpouring of support for our mothers and children in the program really helps us achieve our mission of Raising the Future," said Lorna Little, Executive Director at St. Agnes Home. "The baby furniture and clothing provided brought smiles to all residents, and some of them even plan to wear the clothes for their Holiday portraits. We really appreciate the generosity of the Lollipop Tree Nursery School Parents Association."

Parents and children brought in good condition clothing, baby items, accessories, baths, baby gates, and much more to fill a Pak Mail truck.  The boxes and delivery transportation to the home were donated by Pak Mail of West Hartford.

"We wanted to donate very locally, especially to an organization that was not in the market of reselling items. The St. Agnes home is right in our backyard and is in need of so many essentials. When we learned about how this home benefits the lives of young people, we knew they were the perfect fit for our donation drive," Jocelyn Hawkins, PA member.

St. Agnes Home provides residential care and supportive services for pregnant and parenting adolescent mothers and their infants.  For more information about St. Agnes Home, visit: www.stagneshome.org
