Sleepers in September annual collection driver

Newborns in Need will hold their annual “Sleepers in September” collection drive during the month of September.
 
Too many babies do not have enough clothing or blankets to keep them warm during the cold winter months.  Newborns In Need are doing that for them, in the best way they know how. Community members can help by providing a warm sleeper or blanket.
 
Newborns in Need, (NIN), Ozark Chapter will collect new, unused sleepers in sizes 0-12 months during their annual Sleeper In September clothing drive. Additional quilts, afghans, receiving blankets and clothing are also welcome. Monetary contributions, which help in the purchase of material, are always appreciated and needed. Members of NIN can use yarn donations as several members knit or crochet. All donations stay local.
 
The Ozark NIN chapter is among more than 60 chapters across the United States. Founded in 1992, NIN is a 501(c)3 charity that responds to the needs of premature and newborn babies whose parents are experiencing a crisis situation and have difficulty providing the necessary items for their babies. NIN chapters also provide bereavement items for those parents experiencing an unexpected death of a newborn.  The local chapter donates between 200 to 400 baby items each month. These items are made by a group of four to six volunteers,  going to thirteen locations. This includes ten health units and three hospitals. NIN’s guiding principle is “One Heart, One Mission; Serving All God’s Children’’. Contact Jeanne Roles at 417-247-1479 to arrange for any donation to be picked up.
