 Metrohealth/NICU Service Project

 Please see the below email from Fran Peters, an Avon Lake troop leader:

As many of you know I work in the NICU at Metrohealth.  In the past many of your troops have cut and donated fleece rectangles for our unit.  We use these 4" x 6 to 8" pieces to put under the babies heads as a cushion instead of a washcloth.  We go through them fast as we throw them away if they get soiled or spit-up on.  Please consider this as a service project for your troop.  You will need NEW boy/girl/holiday fleece and fabric scissors.  All you need to do is cut rectangles  4"x 6"....  the edges do NOT have to be neat and tidy.  I have cardboard templates if you need them.  I can also come in and speak to your troop about the NICU/baby care and bring some tiny baby stuff like diapers, bottles, nipples, blood pressure cuffs etc.....  little girls love these things.  In the past we have done this with older and younger troops together, the big girls are a great help to the little girls.

Please email Fran at franpeters.fp@gmail.com with any questions.  Anna Danese has also said that troops can bring the rectangles to the Lorain office or give them to Anna at a service unit meeting and she will make sure they get to Fran.
