Try This: Show Love and Support to Young New Moms

Ask your church to donate newborn baby essentials, and have volunteers package them in baskets with information about your church. Establish a relationship with your local crisis pregnancy center, and when one of the center’s clients gives birth, have them present a basket to her.
