Newborns in Need provides support to those organizations who care for sick and needy babies. NIN volunteers provide care necessities to local agencies and hospitals serving premature, ill or impoverished newborns. Volunteers use their talents to provide knitted, crocheted and sewn premature and full-term baby items. In addition, volunteers collect new and gently used baby items to distribute among local agencies serving families in need. Chapters collect clothes, blankets, diapers and baby hygiene items to be distributed in their local communities.
Newborns in Need offers support to the grieving family by providing bereavement and memory items to honor and swaddle the precious life that was lost much too soon.
Why you are needed: In the United States approximately 2000 babies are born into poverty each day. Over 540,000 babies are born prematurely each year and for every 1000 babies born, 6 babies lose their fight for life.
