The Duke Energy Northern Region Business Women's Network (BWN) recently collected many supplies for Elizabeth's Closet,
plus $125 in donations to benefit our Adopt-a-Frog program. The BWN is regularly engaged in chairtable and community service activities. FSNCC is very pleased and grateful to have been selected as one of their 2009 service projects!



After a stressful stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, every family deserves to bring their baby home with all of the supplies and equipment needed to care for them with confidence. That's why the Family Support Network of Central Carolina offers Elizabeth's Closet, a storehouse of supplies for eligible families who are finally going home with their NICU "grads." We are always in need of supplies to keep our many support services for families going strong. Can you help with any of the items listed below? (Items listed in red are especially appreciated!)

  • Frog positioning aids (available through our Adopt-a-Frog program)
  • New bottles with nipples
  • Hooded towels
  • Receiving blankets
  • New or gently used infant clothing, especially preemie & newborn size clothing for girls
  • Diapers, newborn or size 1
  • New or gently used Boppy pillows (positioning aids often used for breastfeeding)
  • Head-molding helmets
  • Onesies, size newborn or 0-3 months
  • New or like new baby furniture & equipment (give us a call to check for need). Please make sure these items are clean and in good working condition.
  • Scrapbooks or scrapbooking supplies
  • Gas cards for families who must travel long distances to be with their babies in the NICU
  • Grocery gift cards or vouchers
  • Restaurant gift cards or coupons
  • High back, reclining high chair (great for infants & toddlers with special needs)

Many thanks to Two Men and a Truck for providing storage space for Elizabeth's Closet. We also gratefully acknowledge Guilford County Partnership for Children and Ecolab for providing funding for this program.

You can also help by Adopting a Frog! Yes, you read right...

Frogs are positioning aids that bring warmth and comfort to fragile, premature infants in the NICU. Thanks to a recent partnership with a former NICU family, FSNCC is now collecting these special items to donate to babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Women's Hospital of Greensboro.
