The Layette program, run entirely by Volunteers, is designed to help new, or prospective, parents learn about the impact that a new baby can have on the financial situation of the family unit.
Through a program of preventive education, clients learn about variations in pay and increased expenses, common consumer pressures targeted to new parents, and entitlements available through both governement and private sources.
The Layette (also known as a Junior Seabag) is issued to any eligible recipient who has recently had a baby
or whose child will be born within six months. It consists of a coordinated set of bedding and clothing, a
baby book, and a handmade item (either sweater set, afghan or quilt), packed in a tote or duffel bag.
Layettes will be given to recipients after they attend a "Budget for Baby" class or complete an individual
budget session with a Society caseworker. To obtain a layette, eligible recipients should contact the NMCRS office closest to their duty station or residence to register for a "Budget For Baby" class or make an appointment to see an caseworker. These services are available at all NMCRS locations.
