Current ways to help through IOWAY
- Swaddling Clothes Ministries (https://swaddlingclothes.org/)
- Check out the location nearest you
- Diapers (newborn – size 6, pullups)
- Wipes
- Some locations also take donations of children’s clothing, maternity clothing, toys, hygiene products, laundry detergent, car seats, furniture
- Please contact your specific location before you donate outside of the diaper/wipe items
- New tennis shoes, socks, underwear, and clothing for the kids at Moulton at Findley elementary schools
- Moulton families are still in need while the school is being demolished and rebuilt, the students will be bused from the current location to a sub building until the hoped for new building opening for the 2028 school year
- Findley is newer to us, but the students have similar needs
- Rolled bandages and newborn kits for Global Health Ministries ( https://www.ghm.org/)
- Contact a local motel/hotel for donations of sheets they are taking out of rotation to use for bandages
- Look at the list for used medical and dental items they will take (https://www.ghm.org/always-needed#accept)
- Donations or ingatherings - Quilts, fleece blankets, knit hats (fall), feminine hygiene products, games/play equipment for Hope Ministries, etc…
- These are great options of ways to use Thrivent Action Cards
