SUPPORT NEWBORNS IN NEED. Donate Infant Clothing and Diapers.
A group of national and international chefs came together for one great cause, helping the NEWBORNS IN NEED Charity Organization. They want the focus to be on the need and not individual names. A Taste of the Caribbean Food Festival will not only make our community aware of what needy families with newborns experience but also involve the community in helping with some of the specific needs of these newborns.
Did you know that many newborns have little to no clothing? When a child is born into a needy family they may only have a shirt and diaper to leave the hospital.
When they arrive home, if there is a home, there may not even be a warm blanket or quilt to wrap them. Newborns In Need Charity Organization changes that scenario. This nonporfit organization is mobilized across the United States to offer baby items to those families who need help. The need it great, poverty or illness touches the tiniest babies. YOU CAN HELP. Donate infant clothing, newborn diapers, baby laundry detergent, etc.
