Message From the President:

The Ann T. Havey Foundation was established in honor of my grandmother.  Ann raised her family in Springfield and instilled a joy for giving among her many children and grandchildren by always helping those in need.

As a pediatrician caring for newborns it has become apparent that clothing is a need often unfulfilled and with few resources for our most under-served families.  Lack of clothing is a stressor for parents, leads to temperature and hygiene concerns for our infant patients, and in the worst cases can even prompt allegations of neglect for those who are struggling through poverty.  To meet this need, we have provided Bundles of Joy to families of newborns born in Springfield.  

Each bundle consists of approximately 10 items of newborn (or premie) clothing, a blanket, books and a diaper bag.  We accept monetary and clothing donations from our many contributors, but require that all items are new and do not have any "mom" or "dad" writing as our newborns come from all family types and situations.  It costs about $30 per bundle, and we have given out more than 700 so far!  Our goal is to continue to serve the families of newborns in Springfield by providing bundles to both local hospitals, the NICU, SIU pediatrics, Central Counties Health Centers, The Parent Place, Mini O’Beirne Crisis Nursery.

Thank you for helping newborn babies in need!

Sincerely,

Meredith Havey Volle, MD, MPH
President, Ann T. Havey Foundation
