The City of Irvine is hosting its annual Baby Gift Drive to benefit the adopted 2/11 Marine Battalion. This initiative provides essential supplies, support, and care for Marine families. Donating new and unopened items like burp cloths, lotions, soaps, newborn gowns, onesies, receiving blankets, car seats, pack and plays, high chairs, and baby clothes in sizes 0-18 months can help make a difference for parents welcoming a new baby home.

Shop locally or purchase items online to donate to the Baby Gift Drive. This drive is a great opportunity to express gratitude to the brave men and women of the 2/11 Marine Battalion and their families.
