A charity that distributes gently-used gear to families with babies has seen such a big spike in demand that they are now opening a second location.
BabyGoRound has been collecting, cleaning, and handing out baby essentials since 2012. It operates out of a location on Kingsway in Vancouver.

“I like came in and they offered me like a stroller, a bassinet, everything basically you need,” client Clare Douglas told Global News.
“At the beginning, they offered kind of like a pump if I needed, any formula and baby clothes. And so I was able to get those items that I needed and feel prepared as a mom.”
BabyGoRound says it helps more than 1,700 families every year.
