The 2026 Laundry Basket Drive was the centerpiece of the host of Respect Life activities held in January this year.  The Drive collects gift cards, baby items, and monetary donations for local pregnancy centers and shelters for pregnant women.  

This years Laundry Basket Drive started with planning and advertising in December 2025,  enabling a launch for online donations on January 3rd, followed by two weekends of in-person collections after Masses at Immaculate Conception Church in mid-January, and continued online donations into early February.   Parishioners and donors were amazingly generous this year, donating $4981 of cash and gift cards, plus purchased and handmade baby items.  The ICC parishioners and Knights who donate both their time and treasure are grateful for the opportunity to help women experiencing a crisis pregnancy, help new and struggling families trying to take care of their newborn, and provide every child the opportunity of Life.    The Novena For Life overlaps with the Laundry Basket Drive and is promoted in parallel as part of our January Respect Life activities.

Donations collected in 2027 were distributed to St. Gianna's Place in Hudson, Margarite's Place in Nashua, Pennacook Pregnancy Center in Manchester, New Generation in Greenland, and Real Options in Nashua and Manchester.
