Now this is really hot, According to People, Nicole Richie is behind a new online gift registry that will provide baby products to moms in need. Richie plans to launch the Web site this fall through her Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, which is a charity that she and boyfriend Joel Madden started last winter during the time she was pregnant with daughter Harlow.
How the Charity Works:
Families will sign up through local social service agencies. A list of baby products they need – such as cribs, strollers or blankets – will be posted on the Web site. Donors can view the wish-lists and choose what to contribute (much like a wedding or baby gift registry).
In the beginning the registry will start off helping families in the Los Angeles and New York areas before expanding throughout the country and internationally.
Additionally, the foundation is still lining up sponsors for the as-yet unnamed registry site, which is being guided by DonorsChoose.org and Baby2Baby.org.
