Hillcrest Layette Program

  • For 60 years, Hillcrest’s Layette Program has provided layettes (clothing and supplies for babies 0 – 18 months of age) to new mothers by working with the Contra Costa County Public Health Nurses and other county-wide programs to refer mothers in need. 

    • See Contra Costa County Public Health Nurse’s for referral.

    • Donate

      Hillcrest’s Layette Program depends on monetary donations to purchase needed items or donations of slightly used items.  Many groups enjoy holding a baby shower, a Mother’s Day activity, or an annual collection at Christmas to collect new or gently used baby clothes.

    • If you would like to support the Hillcrest Layette program, you can make a donation or contact us for more information.
