Summer Infant and GOOD+ Foundation Help Over 10,000 Children Through Their Sharing is Caring Social Charity Drive

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- While the holidays and the charitable season may be over, Summer Infant® remains committed to giving back to families in need through their partnership with GOOD+ Foundation®. From November 14, 2016 through January 1, 2017, Summer Infant conducted a Sharing is Caring Social Charity to bring comfort to babies and families in need. For every five new followers on the Summer Infant, Born Free or SwaddleMe Facebook and Instagram channels during this timeframe, Summer Infant donated one baby care package to GOOD+ Foundation that included: one of nine different nursery items, a SwaddleMe Original Swaddle and a 2-pack Born Free Bliss Orthodontic Pacifier. Through the amazing response of Summer Infant’s fans, over 30,000 items will be donated through GOOD+ Foundation.

“We are both honored and thrilled to be able to share these items with the families of GOOD+ Foundation and are happy to know that there will now be more babies out there sleeping safe and sound,” said Mark Messner, CEO of Summer Infant, Inc. “An astonishing 1 out of 4 infants and toddlers in America live in households where their family’s income is below the poverty line. Many of these parents struggle to provide their children with even the most basic baby care essentials. Through the kindness of our fans, and with the help of GOOD+ Foundation, Summer Infant is pleased to provide some measure of comfort to these families in the new year.”

Summer Infant will continue partnering with GOOD+ Foundation throughout 2017 with the goal of helping even more children and families throughout the United States. 

"We are so fortunate to have a long-standing partnership with Summer Infant and their ongoing support of our work through campaigns like Sharing is Caring," said Katherine Snider, Executive Director GOOD+ Foundation. "A core focus of our work is improving the chances for low-income moms and their children to outgrow poverty, and this donation from Summer Infant will enable GOOD+ Foundation to reach a significant number of moms with these incredible new baby essentials."
