More Info
Preemie Prints is holding a drive for our NICU gift bags. We would like to collect at least 500 individual items during the month of August-September.

NICU families face a difficult journey when their baby is born early or with serious health concerns. One of our missions is to share hope through the distribution of gift bags while families are in the NICU!

As of now we have been able to provide gift bags to families in the Brazos Valley, Houston, and Temple areas. We would like to continue our mission of delivering these gift bags in person and expand their distribution to our online private national NICU family group members!

Anytime we have a current NICU family in our group we would like to send them a wonderful care package to bring a smile to their face and give a little comfort during this scary time.

We cannot expand this part of mission without donations from our preemie community, family, and friends. So we ask that you donate at least 1 item or make a monetary donation of $2 so that we can donate 1 item in your name! On behalf of NICU families across the US thank you so much for being a part of Preemie Prints!

What are examples of items that may be in a NICU gift bag?
Information and books on premature babies and life in a NICU
Brand new or handmade (new please) preemie clothes
Preemie hats
