A CHILDREN’S BOOK DRIVE &
ITEM DONATIONS!
FOR MARY’S ROOM IN DELAVAN, WI
Mary's Room provides maternity clothes, newborn and infant clothing, accessories, furniture and other needed items at no charge with an extra component thrown in...loving, caring compassion. Mary's Room is staffed entirely by volunteer assistance, and stocked through the generosity of area individuals, churches and other organizations.
The Director is Peggy Nieuwenhuis, also the Mayor’s wife. She is very excited about MPI’s involvement. She asked that in addition to much needed new/gently used baby items, that any children’s books be simple, “easy to read” in English, or bi-lingual in Spanish, as many of their mothers are Spanish-speaking as their first language.
