Watch Me Grow- Snack Bags

The duration of a stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can vary significantly, typically ranging from 2 to 3 days to 3 to 6 months, and in some cases, even up to a full year. During this challenging period, families face the additional burden of food expenses, which can become quite steep. Limited access to microwaves and refrigerators makes it difficult to prepare meals and keep food fresh, leading families to rely on delivery services or the hospital cafeteria, both of which can be costly.

In response to these challenges, Watch Me Grow, Watch Me Thrive provides families with weekly access to Snack Bags that contain a variety of healthy snacks and drinks. This initiative supports healthy eating habits and ensures that families have nutritious options throughout the day, allowing them to choose from an assortment of tasty treats while caring for their little ones.

If you would like to contribute snacks for the bags, please check out our Amazon wish list! We arrange deliveries to the units either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Currently, we are serving 8 hospitals across the state of Florida, supporting a total of 603 families each month.

We have provided a suggested items list through Amazon .​
