GiFT strives to restore stability and dignity for families who experience prolonged hospitalization of their newborn through education, providing infant care essentials, and breaking barriers for visitation. Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria’s donation will directly impact three of the nonprofit’s programs, including:
- Destination Home – supports families preparing to bring their baby home from the NICU by providing infant care essentials.
- GiFT Gets You There – makes it possible for families to spend time with their little ones when they need it most.
- GiFT Remembers – helps families who are in bereavement by providing financial support toward remembrances and memorial services.
The nonprofit was able to help 350 local families in 2020. GiFT expects to be able to assist 400 more in 2021, pending necessary funding. To learn more about GiFT, please visit www.givingisafamilytradition.org.
