Gifts for New Moms Wanted


It's a baby shower of a community-wide nature.

Residents across Koochiching County are being asked to donate items such as diapers, clothes and other accessories to help out new mothers.

Brenda Jones of the Rainy Lake Medical Centre says they're not just for people in need.

"It's to welcome every mother and to provide a gift for every new mother and baby that comes into Koochiching County," says Jones. "It's also an opportunity for these mom to learn about services that's provided to them."

Items will be collected by the Medical Centre and the Koochiching County Health Department on May 25 and distributed during visits by the local nurses.
