Los Angeles, CA (December 16, 2022)<\/strong> – Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger and Baby2Baby<\/a>\u00a0jointly announced that families with babies who attend the\u00a0Winter Wonderland<\/a>\u00a0event this Saturday at Stephen Sorensen Park in Lake Los Angeles will receive toys, diapers, wipes, and other basic necessities\u2013in addition to the other giveaways planned for older children\u2013in an effort to bring both holiday cheer and resources to families in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled that Baby2Baby will provide diapers and toys for some of the tiniest guests who will be at Winter Wonderland in Lake Los Angeles,\u201d said\u00a0Supervisor Kathryn Barger<\/strong>. \u201cHoliday events like this one celebrate and support communities. It\u2019s important to mobilize resources that alleviate some of the financial stress families are facing. Strong partnerships with community-based organizations like Baby2Baby make a big difference in making that goal a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Supervisor Barger to provide basic essentials and toys to children in the Fifth District this winter,\u201d shared\u00a0Baby2Baby Co-CEOs Norah Weinstein and Kelly Sawyer Patricof<\/strong>. “Gifts are not an option for many families who are still struggling with the financial repercussions of the pandemic, the formula shortage, and more. Being able to provide presents this time of year ensures children have the opportunity to experience the magic of the holidays.”<\/p>\n
