#GivingTuesday, which fell on December 3, 2013 this year, was founded by the United Nations Foundation and 92nd Street Y. This day aims to kick off the holiday season with a day of giving back.
#GivingTuesday: 111 Swaddling Blankets Purchased for Healthy Families
December 11, 2013
Family Service Society, Inc. participated in #GivingTuesday by raising funds for swaddling blankets to be used in the Healthy Families program.
With Indiana infant mortality rates shown to be 25% higher than the national average, safe sleep practices are a simple way to decrease the risk of SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome.
FSSI’s #GivingTuesday initiative brought together donors from 4 states and 2 continents! Totaling $570 in donations, FSSI was able to purchase 111 swaddling blankets to be distributed through Healthy Families.
We express our deepest thanks to all who participated in our #GivingTuesday project!
