The Magi Baby Chest celebrated two years as of Oct. 1 and it’s grown. It started in October 2022 serving 15 families. Per word of mouth, the Magi Baby Chest now serves on average 180 to 200 families per month. The nonprofit has expanded twice and continues to serve more families. At the gala, Magi Baby Chest will be unveiling a testimonial video from the families served. These families share just how much the service has touched their lives and shown them Christ’s love through the mission of hospitality, the nonprofit said in a news release.

“God chose to enter the world through a family and it’s more important than ever that we grow this ministry through the charitable hearts of the public,” the nonprofit said. “We hope to see you there!”
