Newborns In Need
Newborns In Need – Springfield, Missouri Chapter first organized in 2002. Our mission is to serve the tiniest victims of poverty in Southwest Missouri and Northern Arkansas.
Our organization makes many hand-made essential baby items. We put together a 45 piece baby layette in which 16 of the items either are, or can be hand-made by our volunteers, these items include a quilt, receiving blanket, 2 bib/burp cloth sets, washcloth, receiving blanket, sleeper, gown, t-shirt, 3 knit, crocheted or sewn hats, 1 pair of knit, crocheted or sewn booties, and a small stuffed toy.
Our volunteers dedicate their time, talent and treasures because we care so much for these tiny ones who have no say in the environment that they are born into. There are so many factors that play into their situations and how those situations came to be, we focus on the babies and children and do whatever we are capable of doing to keep them clothed and warm especially during the first weeks and months after they are born.
