Never Forgotten Baby Gowns is a non profit that was founded in June of 2017 and the group was started by women from Rivertown Community Church. Although Angel Gowns is not new, it was a need in our area that they felt The Lord called them to fill. They currently serve our communities in the Florida Panhandle. Their goal is to provide a glimpse of God’s love for His children by providing a service to families who experience the loss of a baby. They repurpose wedding gowns into burial “angel gowns” for stillborn, premature, and infant deaths. These gowns will be provided at ‘no charge’ to grieving families in our communities and are donated to Jackson County Hospital in Marianna.
If you wish to donate a wedding gown or pastel colored formal please let them know. If you wish to donate lace, thread, pearl like beads, small satin covered type buttons, ribbon, cutting boards, seamstress scissors (that have not been used for paper), sewing machine, or other quality items please let them know. If you are interested in joining the group please let them know so they can share some information with you.
