Each year the Dallas Area Chapter attempts to provide   Christmas bags to each baby in Parkland Hospital on      Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.   This past Christmas season NIN provided over 280 hand-sewn fabric bags.  The bags were filled with  a sleeper or gown, a hat, booties or socks, a receiving blanket, and a small-safe snuggle toy. Parkland supplies pacifiers for each bag along with an educational toy and a small. All items must be new and in excellent condition.

NIN and hospital volunteers accompanied Santa to deliver a bag to each baby in the hospital on Christmas Eve. Any remaining bags are distributed to babies born on Christmas Day.

Please contact a member of the Board if you are interested in obtaining items for the bags or volunteering to stuff or distribute bags in 2009.
