Coming together with vendors such as Caboo who are donating baby wipes (and matching customer donations up to $500), SPUD has also connected Healthiest Babies Possible with bigger names such as Jennifer Garner’s, Once Upon a Farm and Kristin Bell & Dax Shepard’s Hello Bello, with each brand giving 250 products each to the fundraiser.
“At Once Upon a Farm, we believe that when kids have access to nutritious food they’re better prepared for a lifetime of health and happiness. We support the Healthiest Babies Project with our product donation – and believe in their efforts in helping vulnerable moms and babies in BC.”
