Baby Care is a year-round mission of Our Saviour’s that serves underresourced families locally and globally. In September 2024, as part of "God's Work, Our Hands" Sunday, Our Saviour's assembled more than 481 care kits for distribution to families in need through Lutheran World Relief. Baby Care relies on the donation of baby blankets, like-new baby clothing items and monetary gifts. Interested in making a monetary donation to support the Baby Care Ministry? Click here.

Locally, Baby Care works with partners such as Bugagoo Consign, Rhea Lane Consignment, Family Shelter Resale and Our Saviour's Refugee Ministry to provide essentials for babies ages 6 months-2 years. 

May 2025: Baby Care invites interested sewers to take one (or more!) of the 67 baby-blanket kits in the pack-and-play located in Fellowship Hall and assemble a blanket at home. For instructions or assistance, call/text Sandy Hess at 309-264-3950 or Betty Landorf at 630-486-5654. Also, save the date for a BabyCare Sew-a-Thon at the Our Saviour's Campus on June 26!

Quilts will be bundled with other newborn essentials and distributed through Lutheran World Relief.
