Old2Gold Time Again!

-
Last year, the South Bend La Leche League volunteered with Old2Gold, the annual “garage sale” of student goods at Notre Dame. Volunteers from local non-profits sort and organize everything from bikes to shoes to lumber and clothes. In return, a portion of the sales goes to each of the organizations based on the number of hours volunteered. Last year, we earned close to $20 per hour!

If you are interested in supporting breastfeeding support and information in our community, please consider supporting your local La Leche League group by volunteering. Here’s how:

This year Old2Gold takes place June 26.
Volunteer training sessions (mandatory) last one hour and take place the week of May 24-27. Registration begins April 19 at http://old2gold.nd.edu. Once there, please indicate that you are volunteering as part of La Leche League.

Volunteers will be placed on work detail according to the preferences stated in their application. You will be contacted by phone or email (your choice) to confirm your work schedule. Once there, you will be asked to sign in and out. Experience indicates that “choice” volunteer jobs go quick, so if you are interested, yet selective in how your time is spent, sign up early.

Updates and reminders will follow. Thank you for supporting your South Bend La Leche League group!

LLL of South Bend Meetings and COVID-19

Dear mothers and friends, In consideration of the state recommendations and the response of many of the public spaces, including some of those in which we hold meetings, La Leche League of South Bend has decided to postpone our regular in-person meetings. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation in our area and continue meetings when it seems possible and safe for you and your families. We are taking this situation seriously and want to still be able to help mothers with breastfeeding questions. If you have any breastfeeding concerns or questions, you can still contact us via phone, email, or Facebook. We are always happy to help families work through difficult, joyful, and strange moments of the journey! lllofsouthbend.blogspot.com/ lllofsouthbend@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/lllofsouthbend / 574-334-7624 Breast milk is still the best food for your babies, and La Leche has provided guidance for breastfeeding through illness: Continuing to Nurse Your Baby ...
