ABOUT BASICS FOR BABIES
Basics for Babies is an annual fundraiser organized by 93.7 JRfm benefiting food banks across the Lower Mainland. It was created in 1994 when the radio station recognized a chronic shortage of baby products at Lower Mainland Food Banks.
With the help of partners, Basics for Babies has raised over $2 million and hundreds of thousands of pounds of diapers, baby food, formula, pabulum, and other items. Learn more.
