Orange Plaza Rotary joined together with the organization Threads of Love for a service project making “Lovie Dolls” for babies in natal intensive care. Threads of Love makes and delivers gowns and dolls to 16 Orange County hospitals.

Lovie Dolls are soft and made of fabric.  Mom places a completed doll on her own chest, between her breasts so that the doll picks up mama’s scent.  When the doll is then placed in bed with the infant, the child is comforted by the doll and the scent.

Our club was very excited to help out with this project, with men, women and children helping to cut and assemble.
