The births of babies born prematurely, in health crisis, or into poverty are at an all time high. Newborns in Need is a national 501- C-3 organization. Last year, NIN volunteers raised over 90,000 items
for babies across the USA: hand-crafted blankets, clothing, and quilts. These desperately needed items support the stressed family unit trying to provide for their newborn baby.
