Loved Twice will provide a wardrobe of baby clothes to 50 homeless newborns in San Jose. Each box contains 75 gently used, seasonally appropriate garments—onesies, pajamas, hats, socks, and blankets—lovingly packed and distributed through our trusted social service agency partners who support families in crisis. That’s 3,750 essential garments with a total retail value of $13,125, diverted from the landfill and delivered into the arms of those who need them most.

With this grant, we will collect, sort, and curate high-quality secondhand baby clothing, assemble 50 wardrobes-in-a-box, and deliver them directly to homeless shelters, family resource centers, and health clinics across San Jose. This gift of clothing will provide comfort and dignity to newborns experiencing homelessness—meeting an urgent basic need during a vulnerable time in a baby’s life.

Each year, we collect approximately 700,000 essential garments. They are packed into "wardrobes-in-a-box" in that each box contains enough clothing to keep a baby warm and clean through their first year of life. Each box contains 75 essential gently used garments in sizes 0-12 months.
