Love, Nana
Love, Nana
“Love, Nana” is a Community Service Project presented by the Backyard Players and Friends. We are a volunteer & donation based non-profit whose mission is two-fold, to assist local families in need by providing gently used clothing for newborns and offering a skills training and community experience program for our participants.
About Love, Nana
Love, Nana collects gently used baby clothes, books, and accessories to create thoughtful bundles for young mothers and families in need.
In partnership with BYP, we not only support families with newborns, but also provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for BYP participants, who wash, dry, fold, and carefully assemble each bundle with love.
We proudly donate these baby bundles to hospitals, family support centers, schools, and social service agencies across Long Island, all five boroughs of New York City, Westchester, and New Jersey. Through collaboration with local hospitals, social ministries, and schools, we ensure that every bundle reaches the hands of a family who needs it most.
Donate to Love, Nana
Donations We Accept: We gratefully accept new and gently used infant clothing up to 24 months, as well as small books and toys without batteries. To help us coordinate, please email us at Lovenana@bypandfriends.com with a description of your items.
Please note: we’re unable to accept baby equipment such as car seats, cribs, or strollers, and we kindly ask that no donations be left outside our storefront to ensure the safety of Nana and her volunteers
