Volunteer and Build Baby Boxes Today!

Baby Boxes

Baby Boxes are a meaningful way to make sure that the littlest members of our community have the basic necessities to get started in life. Individuals or organizations can make baby boxes to help support teen moms, babies in foster care, young mothers, and other families in need.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 for volunteers:
  1. Purchase the baby supplies – Everything must be brand NEW!
  2. Build the box – Be as creative as you want! Put baby items inside of baby bathtubs, laundry baskets, reusable shopping bags, storage cubes, diaper bags, or even cardboard boxes covered with wrapping paper. Label as boy, girl, or gender neutral.
  3. Deliver the completed baby boxes – VPS headquarters, M-F, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at 12011 Government Center Parkway, Ste. 600, Fairfax, VA 22035.
Anyone can make Baby Boxes! They are: 
  • Fun AND Creative to make.
  • A fulfilling group or team activity.
  • Easy to make at home on your own timeline.
  • A great way for teens to get service hours for shopping, travel time, and assembly.
Suggested baby box items:
  • Onesies
  • Clothes & socks 
  • Receiving and swaddling blankets
  • Diapers 
  • Baby Wipes 
  • Educational toys and books
  • Baby bathtub & hygiene products
  • Pacifiers/teething toys & burp cloths
  • Bottles & cleaning supplies
  • Baby Tylenol, nail clippers, baby thermometers.

We appreciate your generous donations and support!
