How exactly are we to provide? Milk ourselves?

Apparently you're going to take it upon yourself to reply to everything I post, and you're going to do so with as much negativity as you can muster. Your attitude needs a serious adjustment. I'd suggest you stop making it your personal mission to insult me, and start acting like the adult you are.

Have a nice day.

I thought chimp made a good point. I mean, you didn't exactly include any details.

I was actually just asking how exactly we were helping them.

This thread calls for a dead baby joke:

What is the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies?

You can't unload a truckload of bowling balls with a pitchfork.

We provide clothing for needy premature and newborn infants in Springfield and the surrounding area. More information can be found on our web site which is linked to the National site. www.newbornsinneed.com. Go to 'where are we' and look at the Springfield Missouri Chapter Site.

We also provide pregnancy centers, homes for unwed teens, clinics and emergency rooms with emergency packs that include clothing up to a size 3T. Our needs are varied.

Although most of our volunteers sew, knit and crochet in their homes, we also have a workday every Saturday at our facility located across the street from Bass Pro at 1912 South Campbell. We have need of volunteers that sew and also ones that don't. There are layettes to pack, deliveries to be made and items to stuff.

Our youngest volunteer is 6 years old and prides herself with stuffing Boppies, some Saturdays as many as six, which she reminds us is also her age.

Our oldest volunteer is 90 and God uses her to make the most beautiful quilts for our babies. She sews at least four hours everyday and her quilts are a work of art.

This ministry is one of the most worthwhile endeavors that I have ever seen, and the volunteers really do make a difference in the lives of the babies and their families.

Any more information that you need, I can go on for days. Ha.
