LOVE THY BABY: IBC Small Group Donates

IBC Small Group Donates

One of the small groups from Irving Bible Church heard about our local chapter of Newborn in Needs and wanted to help out. They shopped for clothes, fabric and yarn, crocheted hats and

booties, and sewed quilt tops for a two month period and then they came to our Saturday work day in January to donate their collection. They stayed to help put together quilt kits, sort donations, and make packages for Parkland hospital.

The group from IBC said they really enjoyed the experience and hope to help out at future workdays. One of the visitors commented, "I was so impressed with how Newborns in Need can optimize every scrap of fabric and yarn that is donated...they waste nothing! The Saturday work day was so well organized. I loved it and want to come again soon!"

There are many ways to help out individually and as a group. Join us any Thursday or on the first Saturday of each month to volunteer your time. Donations of cotton fabric for quilts, baby weight yarn, t-shirts or onesies, socks, bibs, and new or gently used clothing and cash donations are always appreciated!

About Us

Love thy Baby donates essential items to organizations that provide for sick, premature or needy newborn infants.All items are donated completely free of charge.

With the help and support of her family and friends, Patricia Clay-Jolly founded our organization in October 1999. For our first 15 years, we operated as a chapter of Newborns in Need, a national non-profit. In January 2015, we changed our affiliation and became part of Love Thy Neighbor, Inc. a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

Our volunteers provide quilts, blankets, clothes, hats, socks, and other baby items through local agencies such as Parkland Health and Hospital System. New volunteers are always welcome!
