Stork Closet

Donations Needed at Healthy Babies Stork Closet

The Healthy Babies Stork Closet is in need of donations for children, infants to age 5. We accept new clothing and general infant and young children supplies. The Stork Closet is for first time parents who participate in the Healthy Babies program. Healthy Babies is an in-home visitation program designed to assist first time and teen parents and their families adjust when a new baby is born. Parents who participate in the program and meet the program expectations are given the opportunity to visit the Stork Closet to select a needed item.  Due to the ever changing safety standards we are unable to accept used clothing, child safety seats, baby strollers, cribs, high chairs and similar items. However, cash donations will be accepted for the purchase of these items.

Thank you to those who have contributed. Stork closet needs are constant and your donations are truly appreciated.  If you are interested in making a donation or need a tax exemption form, contact Oconto County UW-Extension office at (920) 834-6845 or Public Health at (920) 834-7000.
