Back in 2020 during COVID-19 the Big Giants 4-Hers were looking for a way to help out the Northfield Community so they reached out to the Northfield Community Action Center to see what they could do.
The CAC said that Baby Supplies are in high demand and they have limited supplies, so the 4-Hers organized a Baby Supply Drive called “Big Giants 4-H Rattles Up Baby Supplies” in Northfield/Dundas to help young families in the community. The Baby Supply Drive was so successful that they wanted to do it again! This will now be the 3rd Baby Supply Drive they have held! There are 8 drop boxes set up around the community to collect donations from March 15 through April 15, 2023. Donation boxes are located in Northfield at Cub Foods, Family Fare, Northfield Montessori, Church of St. Dominic, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Little Village Early Learning Center in Dundas as well as in Dennison at the Dennison & Vang Lutheran Churches. The supplies that are needed the most include: baby food, formula (all types), diapers (size 6/7 or pull-ups), wipes, household cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and feminine hygiene products. Please help out this great cause if you are able. Thank You for your support!
The Big Giants 4-H Club is a 4-H club in Rice County located in Northfield. 4-H is a youth organization for youth ages kindergarten through one year past high school.
