About

Thousands of babies are born across the United States needing the services of Newborns in Need.  Volunteers use their talents to provide knitted, crocheted, and sewn premature and full term baby items.  Chapters also collect clothes, blankets, diapers and baby hygiene items to to be distributed in their local communties.   NIN offers support to grieving families by providing bereavement and memory items to honor and swaddle the precious life that was lost much too soon.  Our chapters are located in communities across the country, but so many more are needed. We invite you to join your local chapters, and if there is not one in your area, we urge you to investigate starting one in your own community.  There are so many newborns who are waiting for your help.  Please join us and become a Newborns in Need volunteer.

Our volunteers work from their homes and meet once a month to turn in their finished items. The also join other NIN volunteers on group projects. These informal gatherings are called “work meetings”. Many of our volunteers have been attending since our first meeting in June 2002. It’s a great place to make new friends, exchange patterns and idea. Help us make our monthly service goals and see all the lovely handmade items your fellow volunteers have donated. Volunteers are not required to attend monthly meetings, however attendance is encouraged to assist in meeting the monthly goals for the hospitals and medical centers we serve. If you are not able to attend, mail the finished item or supplies to the local North Florida Peninsula office at 18681-229^th Drive, Live Oaks, FL 32060. You can also drop off donations at Taylor’s Store, Highway 51, Live Oak.

We have instructors on hand at all work meetings to help any volunteer lean to sew, knit, crochet or quilt. You can also help by cutting out patterns, stuffing toys, and tag our donations. There is a job for everyone!
