Teeny weeny pre-loved baby clothes are bringing comfort and care to families of sick and premature babies at Mackay Base Hospital.

Wild Tribe Clothing Exchange & Preloved Clothing has once again donated baby clothes to the hospital’s Special Care Nursery (SCN), supporting families in the region who are doing it tough with their tiny bubs in hospital.

Thanks to incredible support from their community of families, founders Emma Wright and Carol Johnson have gathered a beautiful collection of clean, pre-loved baby clothing, especially in newborn and premmie sizes, that will go directly to families who need them most.

Emma said this was their third donation to Mackay Base Hospital and expressed hope that the clothes would “offer comfort, warmth and love to tiny babies and families during some of their most vulnerable moments.”

“We’re so grateful to be able to give back and make a small difference, together,” she said.

Wild Tribe Clothing Exchange is always accepting quality pre-loved baby clothing in good condition for their next hospital drop.

Mackay Hospital Health Service says, “Every onesie helps!”

This ongoing community support provides vital relief and reassurance to families navigating the challenges of caring for premature and sick infants in hospital.
