Bassinets for Babies

Point of Life Resource Center

Bassinets for Babies, founded in September 2022, serves economically disadvantaged mothers in Jefferson, Shelby, and Chilton counties in Alabama, with a vision to expand to 40 states. Many new moms lack the resources to obtain a bassinet and other essentials after leaving the hospital. We help bridge that gap by providing safe sleep spaces and newborn necessities to give every baby a secure start in life.

Even More Reasons to Donate

1

It Helps New Mothers

Point of Life Resource Center supplies bassinets to underserved mothers as they leave the hospital with their newborns. This essential support helps ensure babies have a safe and comfortable place to sleep during their earliest days.

2

It Promotes Safe Sleep

Providing a bassinet to a new mother supports safe sleep practices for infants. Babies who sleep in a bassinet face a lower risk of suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

3

It Supports Underserved Communities

Underserved mothers often lack access to essential resources available to others. By providing bassinets, Point of Life Resource Center helps bridge that gap—offering these mothers the same opportunity to care for their newborns in a safe and supportive way.

4

It is a simple way to make a difference

Supporting Point of Life’s Bassinets for Babies initiative is a simple yet powerful way to make a meaningful difference. Even a small donation can help provide a safe and comfortable place for a newborn to sleep.

Making Change

Our Impact

Every day, mothers in Jefferson, Shelby, and Chilton counties leave the hospital with their newborns but without the essentials many take for granted. For families facing financial hardship, even something as basic as a safe place for their baby to sleep can feel out of reach. The Bassinets for Babies initiative steps in at this critical moment, offering more than just a bassinet – it offers peace of mind, dignity, and a safer start for each child.

This program is more than a donation, it’s a lifeline. It’s the difference between a baby sleeping in a drawer or a blanket-lined laundry basket, and one sleeping safely in a secure, designated space. When you support Bassinets for Babies, you’re not just giving an item, you’re easing the burden on a struggling mother, helping protect a vulnerable infant, and showing a family that their community sees them and cares. Together, we’re changing the story – one baby at a time.
