You might not know this if you aren't a fan of country music, but JRFM works tirelessly to provide our most vulnerable, helpless population with necessities.
When I first started listening to JRFM 16 years ago, I always heard their plug for Basics for Babies. Far from even dreaming about having babies myself, I didn't pay much attention. Now that i have my own and know how agonizing it is to not have enough diapers or formula, i get it. I soooooo get it.
All year long, they come up with creative ways to get people to donate:
- they set up a booth outside concerts and if you donate to Basics for Babies you get a chance to win upgraded seats.
- they have special events and ask those attending to bring donations.
- they throw a wicked FUNdraising event with performances by local celebrities, admission by donation.
You can donate money or goods, all of it is needed. Soy formulas, diapers, foods and cereals are especially needed.

I personally have some unopened packages of diapers that my 3 year old doesn't need anymore
that I could donate. I mean, WILL donate!
