How do I get free stuff for mothers having a multiple birth?

Question

I have heard of families that are having triplets, quadruplets, and higher getting free gifts from companies such as diapers and baby food. My friend is having quadruplets and I would like to help her by getting some info on this. Is there a web site that provides a list of companies?
Thanks for helping.

True or False? Ten Common Misconceptions About Twins/Multiples
Families with multiples are showered with free stuff, donations and offers of help.

As much as we might wish it, that's not always so. Although some companies do provide discounts or free gifts to families with multiples, the offers are dwindling. What is available is mostly appropriate for infants. As multiples grow up, parents find financial help to be scarce. Occasionally, schools or activities will offer a discount -- say 10 or 20% -- for a second child. But, as multiples become more common, such breaks are the exception and not the rule.

Local churches often have money set aside for helping local families. I'd try contacting a bunch of them and maybe you'll find a church who will "adopt" this family. By that I mean they would provide necessities like diapers, wipes, formula, ect. They'd offer their time as well to help the parents out, and also at Christmas and birthdays they'd provide gifts.

Make sure she signs up with the governments WIC program to get free formula.

And since this is quite a rare event she should call the local news stations and newspaper. They'd most likely like to do a story on her. Set up an account at a local bank in the family's name and mention that in the news story that donations can be made. Or register at target or babies r us for many many many diapers and formula and wipes and mention the registry in the news story as well.

Tell her good luck and congratulations.

Answer 4

Go to Wic and ask for help with the formula as for the diapers and clothes there's always costco and goodwill!!
