(Paramus, NJ) – September 8, 2009 žu While you shop for back-to-school fashions, you can help babies of
low-income families and enjoy a discount on your purchase. On September 10, 11 and 12, Gap Kids and Baby Gap stores located in Paramus Park Shopping Center, Westfield Garden State Plaza, the Shops at Riverside, as well as Ridgewood and Westwood, are hosting a collection drive to benefit Children's Aid and Family Services' Baby Basics program. Shoppers who donate diapers, formula and other baby essentials such as wipes -- or who purchase infant clothing in the store and donate it -- will receive a 25 percent discount off their entire purchase.
"We're proud to support the Baby Basics program, which helps so many families that are struggling," says Jessica Fox, general manager of Gap Kids and Baby Gap in Ridgewood.
Baby Basics provides nutritional formula, diapers and other essentials to low-income families with children ages 2 years and younger.
