So, if you were planning to spend $5, $10, or $20 on diapers, clothes, or other items, please consider donating that amount to St. Ann's so we can meet our operating expenses. However, if you are not comfortable making a financial donation, below are the items that we can currently use: Vaseline, Aveeno Products, Eucerin Cream/Lotion, Diapers in size 4, 5, 6 only Aquaphor, Baby Wipes, Pull Ups, Deodorant, Gift cards: Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Giant & Safeway, Similac Advance Formula (this is the only type of formula we need).
