Breakfast With Santa Foundation®

ILDA’S Room Baby Layette Program

One of Breakfast with Santa Foundation’s newest initiatives is Ilda’s Room Baby Layette Program.
This Program began in January of 2021 with a focus on providing new baby essentials to teen moms/dads and financially stressed families once their baby arrives.

Named after the founder’s mother, the program works closely with local shelters, schools, community organizations and food banks in order to identify and support parents without the means to obtain the basics needed for their newborn.

 Over the years, the growth, diversity and inclusive approach of this Foundation has broadened its outreach and increased the variety of programs to help and support children of all ages and backgrounds in our communities. Although this charity started with a simple breakfast with Santa to feed hungry children, it is now so much more. The principle gift of giving, however, remains at the core of all we do.

With this new initiative the gift of giving and kindness begins by welcoming a newborn child.
