Love & Care & Help The Babies (LCHB) was
established in 1998 by then-seven-year-old Sarah Wolfson. The main mission of LCHB is
to give mothers with new babies a fresh start at motherhood. Often, the items we receive
are the only things a new baby will get. LCHB collects baby items through drives,
“baby showers,” and other special events at schools, places of worship, and other locations.
These items are sorted, bagged, and taken to the Center
for the
Vulnerable Child at
Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where they are distributed to mothers and
other foundations around the area. LCHB
has also reached out to other communities
in need. Most recently, the organization supported Hurricane Katrina relief by
purchasing
baby items and purchasing food for victims. Two pallets of
baby food were delivered to a
distribution center in Mississippi. Before LCHB established itself as a foundation,
Sarah was awarded the “Millennium Dreamers” award from the Disney Corporation
and McDonald’s. This award was given for community service projects leading the
way into the new millennium. LCHB has been a non-profit organization
501(c)(3) foundation for over a year. |
