Free "Layette package"

Last month Ms. Sciortino from the CGMA in Arlington, VA. gave us a presentation on Coast Guard Mutual Assistance and all the benefits available, one item new to us was the "Layette package" this is for families that adopt or have a newborn child. Package contains many great starters, all free to the members (INCLUDNG OUR MANY OF OUR CIVILIANS!)

This afternoon we completed a package for one civilian member, additionally if a family were having twins?...two packages!

Eligibility...
Military members in pay grade O-1 and pay grades E-6 and below; and civilian employees GS-9 and below, WG-11 and below, and NAF-2 and below are eligible to receive a layette directly from CGMA

Active Duty members of any rank may receive a layette by attending an Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) "Bundles for Babies" class or a Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) "Budgeting for Babies" class.
