Multiple Helpings

We are Moms and Dads of twins, triplets and quads helping other Moms and Dads of multiples. We of all people know how hard it is in the first year of life with multiples. Not just the equipment needs, but the emotional support as well. New parents are not alone.

 

Multiple Helpings is the philanthropy arm of the non-profit West Los Angeles Parents of Multiples Club (WLAPOM). Multiple Helpings adopts needy families of multiples in the greater Los Angeles area, and provides them with the essential goods for their babies first year.

 

Gently used items are donated by WLAPOM club members to be passed onto the adopted family, and can include cribs and strollers, bouncy seats and electric swings. We also provide other newborn essentials including bottles, clothes, diapers, wipes and toiletries.

 

Purchased items are funded by WLAPOM’s many fundraising efforts throughout the year. Families are provided with a bilingual packet with listings of community resources that may assist them in caring for their multiple babies. Mothers are given emotional support by our volunteers, each of whom is a mother of multiples herself. Social workers at various Los Angeles hospitals connect MULTIPLE HELPINGS with potential families to adopt, and a screening process leads us to the dozens of babies that we help annually.
