The City of Irvine and the Irvine 2/11 Marine Adoption Committee are hosting the 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, such as bounce seats, breast pumps, baby monitors, baby carriers, diapers, and wipes, can help make a difference for parents welcoming a new baby home.

Shop locally or purchase items online from the Amazon wish list 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.
