Bundle Up Your Baby Bump
Free Baby and Children’s Essentials for North Dakota Families
Bundle Up Your Baby Bump is a free community shopping event designed to support parents and caregivers across North Dakota. Through the generosity of donors and volunteers, families are invited to “shop” for baby and children’s clothing, supplies, and essentials at no cost.
This event is part of Catholic Charities North Dakota’s Pregnancy, Parenting, and Adoption Services program and reflects our commitment to walking alongside families with dignity, compassion, and practical support.
How It Works
Throughout the year, we collect gently used baby and children’s items donated by families and community members. These donations are washed, sorted, and organized by volunteers. Then we transform a gymnasium into a welcoming shopping space where parents can select the items they need, completely free of charge.
From clothing and blankets to baby gear and essentials, Bundle Up Your Baby Bump helps ease financial stress while ensuring children have what they need to thrive.
