This program has been around almost as long as Rose of Durham, 30+ years, and we always let clients know that the layette given to them is representative of community support for them and their baby. Your support with this program helps us to live our vision of ‘STRONGER FAMILIES, BRIGHTER FUTURES’.
Following are the options to participate in our layette program:
- Direct financial donations are very much appreciated and will be used to purchase items needed to make up the layette baskets. Financial donations can be in the form of a cheque (directing the funds to Rose of Durham) mailed to:
Catholic Family Services of Durham
707 Simcoe St S
Oshawa, ON L1H 4K5
or
Interac e-transfer donation to fundraising@cfsdurham.com (Please note in the message section to direct the funds to ROD Layette Program).
- Purchase items from the Rose of Durham on-line gift registry: www.myregistry.com
Once on the website go to Find Registry and type in ‘Rose of Durham’.
It will take you to our wish list, where you will be able to shop for our layette program.
Everything that is purchased on myregistry.com will be delivered to the Rose of Durham directly and we will assemble and distribute the layette on your behalf to the clients.
- Purchase and deliver to us brand new items from the list below:
