Newborns in Need

Newborns in Need, Inc. (NIN) is a 501(c)3 charity organized to take care of sick and needy babies and their families; and in cases of crisis, to help where help is needed. Newborns in Need, Inc. is founded upon Christian principles and provides essential items without charge to those in need. We have been serving God's tiniest children since 1992. In 2007, we donated out 557,970 items! A great big thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and sponsors.

When a child is born to a needy family, and it comes time to leave the hospital, many times that tiny baby may be wearing just a disposable diaper. Sometimes-too many times-there's not even a receiving blanket waiting for them at home if they even have a home to go to. In winter, that means there is a good chance the baby will be back in the hospital with pneumonia, or worse, die from the cold. Who can help? In many cases, if we don't help, no one will. These children can't help themselves. This is an ongoing need. Your donations of time, sewing notions, and money to help alleviate the suffering of tiny helpless babies is greatly needed and appreciated.

How can you help? Sew, crochet, knit or donate baby items to the chapter nearest you. Donate sewing notions, fabric, and patterns to be used for the benefit of the sick and needy premature and newborn babies. Supplies are greatly appreciated. Make a baby quilt or two, collect sewing supplies and send them, or gather used toys and clothing and ship them. Use your knitting, tatting, and crocheting talents to make much needed baby clothing and bedding. Some patterns are available on our web site.
