The program will support the healthy development of moms and babies while also addressing the basic care needs of families during crisis situations in the form of educational initiatives, product donations and financial assistance. Beginning with a partnership with global children's humanitarian organization Save the Children, the JOHNSON'S® BABY CARES campaign kicks off by leveraging the support of actress and new mom Hilary Duff to assemble "Care Kits" that will be distributed to families in times of natural disasters.

"In addition, families worldwide are also impacted by various global natural disasters where mothers and babies are deprived of their most basic needs. We are launching this charitable platform to provide these mothers and caregivers with essential basic resources and simple tools that will lend support in times of unexpected crisis." To assist families, the makers of JOHNSON'S® Baby products, alongside parent company Johnson & Johnson, are making a multi-year, multi-million dollar contribution to Save the Children that will help create and sustain key initiatives, including: A donation and distribution of thousands of JOHNSON'S® Baby "Care Kits", providing families with baby care essentials immediately after a disaster. This commitment is an extension of the brand's existing product donation efforts aimed to meet baby care needs in the U.S. and around the world. Funding that enables Save the Children programming, such as Child Friendly Spaces, which supplies moms and children with safe areas to recover, play and experience the joy of being together as a family following a disaster.

"Mothers and babies are among the most vulnerable during times of crisis and we are proud to partner with Save the Children to help those in need." "In times of crisis, children are always the most at risk," said Carolyn Miles, President & CEO of Save the Children.
