One of the most basic functions of life is eating. And yet, in situations of extreme stress and trauma, many people tend to deprive their bodies of sustenance. Families in our local NICUs are no exception. In fact, many of these families also struggle with the added burden of financially affording food away from home…this basic necessity to life! Here at My Preemie And Yours, WE LIKE FOOD! We recognize the importance it has on mental, physical, and physiological health. Proper nutrition is scientifically proved to improve sleep patterns, decrease chances for depression and anxiety, and increase lactation! This initiative aims to provide food free of charge to our local NICU families by making it easily accessible in the place they will call home for an extended period of time.
We need donations! We need non perishable foods and drinks to fill the shelves. We have listed some items on our Amazon Wishlist. If you are local, we are happy to arrange porch pick up for items. We also accept monetary donations via PayPal or Venmo! Simply add a comment #FeedTheNICU and we will be certain to apply your donation to this important initiative. Additionally, we are always looking for business partners. If you or someone you know has a connection to a business who would be willing to help, we would love to connect with them!
Right now, our Feed the NICU Initiative is active at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital. If your child is a patient here, please feel free to help yourself to any foods with our label on them! Additionally, if you would like to request more of any items or completely different items, please click the button below! You are the reason we are doing this, so we would love to know what YOU want! Don’t hesitate to ask!
Purchase a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and we will give a dozen to NICU Nurses for NICU Appreciation week! Click to learn more!
