Wee Care 4 Babies!
All Babies!
Our Program
Our Wee Care Outreach Program provides infant clothing, blankets, diapers and so much more, on an emergency basis. This program enables us to provide material help to women and their babies when their needs cannot be met by other organizations or public agencies. We also provide information regarding the development of the pre-born baby and the care of the newborn infant. Over 600 families are lovingly helped each year thanks to our generous friends. For more information or volunteer opportunities, please call us at the Wee Care Hotline: 734.524.0165. Office hours vary, please leave a message.
