How YOU Can Help Help us to make a difference in the lives of local families in crisis. Neighbors Helping Newborns is an all-volunteer organization, so there are always jobs waiting for willing hands! Read on to find the perfect project for you. Sew, Knit, or Crochet If you can sew, knit, or crochet, Neighbors Helping Newborns needs you! Bring your knitting needles, crochet hooks, or sewing machine to the next work group meeting so we can put you to work making customized clothing, blankets, and quilts for hospitalized babies. Many volunteers also work from home to complete projects throughout the month, so contact us if you would like us to send you patterns for the specialized items we sew, knit, and crochet. Pack, Sort, or Cut If you don't sew or knit, come to a work meeting and lend a hand with other tasks, such as sorting donations, cutting out patterns, and packaging infant clothing. You can make a difference in the lives of local families in crisis! Donate We collect new and gently worn infant clothing (size “0-3 mos.”) that hospitals can send home with babies who lack the basic necessities. There is an urgent need for layette items like sleepers, onesies, socks and cardigans, as well as crib-size quilts and receiving blankets. Donations of polar fleece and baby fabric (both knit and cotton blends) are also gladly accepted. Gift cards to Walmart, Target, BabiesRUs, Kohl’s, and Staples are also greatly appreciated. Deliver Do you live or work near one of the hospitals that we serve? Help us deliver our donations each month!
