Operation Onesie


The Health Information Technology Club will be collecting new or used but in good, clean condition onesies and receiving blankets throughout the month of May. We will be staffing a table in the brick lounge, near Java's on Tuesday May 1st and Wednesday May 2nd  between 11:00 and 1:00 to receive hard goods or monetary donations.  They can also be dropped off in room 8-432 or 8-434, or if you would like your donations to be picked up from your office, please telephone Sarah Lamb at (585) 410-0244.

The Health Information Technology Club is supporting Operation Onesie, sponsored by the 2020 Micro clinic Initiative, a non-profit organization with a mission to promote safe child birth in rural settings. Operation Onesie is an incentive to mothers in rural Kenya who elect to participate in a 2020 childbirth surveillance program and give birth under supervision of a skilled attendant. Each mother who participates will receive a washbasin, one bar of soap, a receiving blanket and ten onesies.  For those unfamiliar, onesies are a one piece garment worn by newborns, infants and older young children as well.
Thank you for your support.
