Swaddling Clothes is a free store for parents who need a little help getting clothing, diapers, and other baby-related supplies for their little ones. This is a program of the Northwest Indiana congregations of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and Grace Lutheran Church became a participant in the fall of 2016.

From various donors, we assemble a collection of items associated with pregnancy and motherhood – baby clothes, diapers, bottles, etc. Then Grace Lutheran Church hosts a Shopping Day every third Saturday from 9 to noon when you can survey our collection and take whatever you need, up to a certain number of items.

If any of the items you take can be donated back to Swaddling Clothes when you are done with them, we ask that you do so to help those in need after you.

WE ACCEPT new and gently used baby and toddler items – clothing in sizes NB through 3T, diapers, and baby wash, as well as blankets, strollers, swings, and more.

Due to safety concerns...
WE CANNOT ACCEPT toys, used car seats, or used breast pumps.

Donations are accepted anytime at Grace Lutheran Church, 8303 Sheffield Avenue, Dyer, Indiana 46311. Simply leave your donation in the Swaddling Clothes bin in the back parking lot. If you need to arrange for a donation time for any reason, please call (219) 865-1137 or email dyer@swaddlingclothes.org.

Monetary donations also are welcome. Donate via credit card or PayPal using this link:

Workers: Individuals to check in and check out people at the center on shopping days.
