Community Resources
Free baby furniture and supplies
211Info is a referral and information system which has information about many different community resources, including free baby furniture and supplies. You can visit 211 online, call 211, or text "health" or "salud" to 898211. Some of the organizations listed in their database may include:
Babies In Need (Vancouver)
Love Inc of Benton Co.
Love Inc of Clackamas Co.
Cribs for Kids
Tom Sargent Safety Center
When you begin searching for items, keep in mind that many organizations who offer free baby furniture and other baby items are religious and anti-abortion groups. OHA recognizes that these organizations support our local communities in many ways, but OHA is not affiliated and does not endorse these organizations. Additional options may include “free baby/kids items” or “buy nothing” groups on Facebook. Throughout the year, many organizations offer events and workshops where free baby supplies may be available.
Postpartum/Perinatal Support
Depression is the most common complication after birth, and not getting enough sleep can make it even harder to cope. Here are some resources for new parents:
