April 05, 2021When a baby is born, their family may not have the necessary things to care for them. Newborns in Need, Missouri Chapter, aims to help solve that. In fact, in 2017, this organization helped over 13,000 babies in and around Greene County. They are providing much-needed items to nearly 1,000 babies each month and working with over 80 local agencies to change the quality of life of our local children.
At the Newborns in Need facility, volunteers work toward quilted, sewing, and knitting baby blankets. Some volunteers choose to do this from home. This charity organization also takes donations from the community. Common items they receive include soft toys, sleepers, quilts, and other forms of blankets.
Newborns in Need creates layettes filled with the items they have made and the items they have collected. Local hospitals, social agencies, and clinics receive their larger ones, which contain 45 items. They also create smaller ones to give out to pregnancy care centers. This organization also makes donations to schools, pantries, doctor’s offices, WIC offices, and homeless shelters. The goal is to reach as many newborns and children in need as possible.
If you are interested in helping this wonderful organization provide such an important service for our community, consider donating. They have many items they are currently in need of, including diapers, bottles, burp cloths, scissors, yarn, ribbon, lace, rubber bands, and stamps.
