At babycito, our mission is to support all constellations of local families, including precious babies. Amy and I are excited to share that this holiday and winter season we'll be backing our local NICUs by providing handmade knitted hats for babies aged 0 to 3 months! Whether you prefer knitting, crocheting, or sewing, your contribution is invaluable and so appreciated.
We'e partnered with Lauren Longshore Properties & NEOwell in this endeavor and we're seeking your support in crafting hats from yarn, wool, cotton, or acrylic, to be ready for donation by February 10th. Help us spread love this Valentine's by gifting warmth and smiles to these little heroes. We'll capture and share heart-melting moments through photos and videos to showcase your kindness.
Apart from creating hats, you can also contribute by donating cash for materials. Cash donations can be sent via Venmo to Lauren (@Lauren-Longshore). Let's come together as a community and make a meaningful difference. Thank you for considering joining us in this wonderful endeavor!
Follow the event on Facebook for more information and to stay up to date on where we are with the number of hats donated, videos of donations, and delivery day footage of dropping of hats at local NICUs!
