Craft for BabiesOur middle school club meets weekly during the school year to crotchet, knit, and sew premature-sized baby hats, headbands, and blankets. Open to all students from AMS at Basha High, and community members too!
|
Collect From CommunityWe collect donated items for premature babies from members of our local Phoenix-area community -- crafted or purchased, such as preemie-sized hats, swaddling blankets, yarn, and more.
|
Give to Hospital NICUsMultiple times during the school year, we donate all crafted, made-by-students, and collected donated community items to donate to the hospital NICUs in numerous cities throughout Arizona.
|
Our Items
All items are individually packaged in sealed plastic bags and labeled with a size sticker to help nurses find the best fit for the preemie. Burial gowns are wrapped in tissue paper and presented in white boxes with a card for grieving parents. All packages include a club-info notecard for the parents receiving the gift to know how the gift was made possible.
