Special Delivery for Moms Who Won’t Be Home to Celebrate Mother’s Day

motherdayblog2On May 8, 2015, The Lauren Rose Albert Foundation/Mother’s Matter Program visited Cooper University Hospital to deliver more than 100 gift baskets to mothers, grandmothers and caregivers who are hospitalized or have a family member hospitalized and won’t be home for Mother’s Day.

Since Mother’s Day 2001, the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation has reached out to mothers-in- need by donating hundreds of gift baskets overflowing with personal health and beauty care products to various community organizations, charities and health care facilities during the week of Mother’s Day. The gift baskets were given to new moms who just delivered their babies, oncology patients, trauma patient family members and others.

School children, girl scouts, businesses and community organizations and agencies as well as local and county governments and colleges participate through Mothers Matter collection drives, contributions and volunteer support. Mothers Matter volunteers assemble beautiful gift baskets which are delivered in time for Mother’s Day; each gift bears the message that “Mothers Matter.” Now a year-round effort, Mothers Matter volunteers assembled and delivered more than 30,000 Mother’s Day Gift Baskets to day care centers, women’s shelters and safe houses, pediatric medical day care facilities, women’s agencies, hospitals and other facilities that serve the needs of women.
