Well, here's an easy way: contact High Risk Hope (check out www.highriskhope.org) to provide a donation of much-needed money, required merchandise or your time. This is a non-profit group that provides gift bags of handmade blankets, headwarmers and other goodies to premature infants and their Mothers. My wife crocheted some baby blankets and we delivered them to the office for their distribution, and the appreciation from the staff was absolutely heartwarming. The operation is extremely organized, and simply provides these gift bags to give the needed warmth, care and smiles to the little ones and their Moms. That's it!
