Given our continued growth in volunteers and their generous donation of
handmade items, especially hats, we have been able to start delivering
some NIN items to JPS Hospital in Ft. Worth in addition to our other
agency deliveries. While not as large as Parkland, JPS delivers 300-400
babies per month and many of these infants are born sick, premature or
into economic crisis. Thank you to Katherine Thompson for being willing to drive to Ft. Worth to make the deliveries and forge a relationship with the staff there.
We received a lovely card from JPS thanking us for our recent donations that read as follows:

We've already begun to get many compliments from our new moms for the caps we've been sharing with them! Thank you so much for these great "extras" we can share with our patients - it means so much to them and to us. May some of the joy you've created at JPS come back to you and your fellow members of Newborns in Need this holiday season. All the best, LouAnne Smith
LouAnne Smith, their volunteer coordinator, visited our work meeting on January 8th and shared with our group more about their program and on-going needs.
