******HELP******
I am in current need of packing tape!  I've got lots of boxes to send out and nothing to seal them with!  If you would like to donate some packing tape, please send to the address located in the "footer" at the bottom of the home page!  Thank you so very much!



Current Needs
UPDATE!  We have found a wonderful place to send donated preemie items to!  It is Stormont-Vail NICU in Topeka Kansas!  Sooooo, if you prefer making items for preemies, WONDERFUL!  We will take all we can get!  Thanks so much for your patience while we looked for a site.

Burial Layettes
Sometimes our littlest angels lose their fight for life.  And although this need is very difficult for most people, know that you are not alone.  Every one of our volunteers shed tears when making these precious layettes.  The ensemble includes a gown, booties, blanket and hat.  Preemie sizes are needed most, however, larger sizes are needed on occasion as well.

Socks
Bibs
Baby Toys

Towels
 
Items that are gently used must be clean and in good condition.  For further information, please feel free to email me.
 
 

HANGERS!
With our move to the larger house and having more room for the babies, I am finding that I am in need of hangers.  I need both infant hangers and childrens hangers.  My plan is to hang all the clothing, afghans, blankets etc and pull when needed.  I'm trying to find the "right" organizing system for myself and I think this will help alot.  If you visit the dollar store and would like to donate some hangers, it would be much appreciated!  Thanks!


I have need of the 1 gallon size "ziploc" type bags.  I will be assembling our layettes in them.  It will make storage much easier and more efficient when it comes time to put the deliveries together.  Thanks so much for your help!  The generosity of others continues to amaze me. 
 

Wish List

Running an organization like ours is monumental and we could not do it if it weren't for the caring and generosity of so many people.  Below you will find a list of items that will make our job alot easier.  If you are able, won't you consider donating?
 
Fabric
Flannels, cottons, baby prints, knit, etc.  Even fabric that you may consider "ugly" will go a long way in providing a quilt for a needy baby.
 
Notions
Use your imagination here!  Anything and everything will be put to use!
 
Yarn
Worsted Weight, Sport, Baby Fingering...It all gets used
 
Quilting Supplies
Ok, I'm begging here....We could REALLY use one (or more) of the quilting basting guns available at Walmart.  They make the job of tacking the quilt for tying or quilting soooooo much easier. 
 
Stamps
We mail out ALOT of material to our volunteers.  Newsletters, flyers, announcements, volunteer packets etc. 
 
Office Supplies
We need everything!  Although, I do have what seems to be a never ending supply of pens and pencils!  :)
 
File Cabinets
You just cannot imagine the amount of paperwork that has to be kept for a group such as ours.  Storage space is at a premium around here and having more file cabinets would be a WELCOME thing!
 
Printing Services or Ink for the Printer
As you can imagine, this is a huge need.  If you can provide printing services, please get in contact with me or if you would like to donate ink for our printer, I would be happy to give you the number.  Just email me for more info.
 
Sergers and Sewing Machines
Don't sew anymore?  Have a machine that is just collecting dust?  It can have a new home and be put to great use helping needy babies.  Contact me before sending, thanks.
 
Your donations will be greatly appreciated.  Many babies will be helped by your generosity!
