Our gear processing volunteers keep this circular system going round - checking, cleaning, and preparing critical baby gear to be passed on to the families who need it most.

• Cleaning baby gear, including but not limited to: strollers, pack and plays, bassinets, high chairs, and exersaucers. This is done using various tools onsite, including a vacuum cleaner, steam cleaner, laundry sink, and washing machine.
• Checking baby gear equipment to ensure it meets current safety requirements: checking condition, functionality, proper assembly, and that all parts are in place.
• Helping to keep the gear receiving and processing zones orderly.
