Carter's Corner Food Delivery
Since March 2021 Carter G. Cares has partnered with Franklin Square Medical Center and March of Dimes to provide a monthly delivery of healthy snacks for NICU families. We understand that during the time that NICU moms and dads are visiting their babies they often spend tons of money on quick meals and snacks. Our program was launched with parents in mind and in addition to food we provide various resources including books, blankets and parking passes.
All deliveries are made the first week of the month.

Prematurity Awareness Month
When Carter was first born his "care" was scheduled. His diaper changes and the few ml's of food he was given were on a schedule. This was known as the schedule for his "cares" and we would make sure that we were there because it was the time that we got to help take care of him. It was the sense of normalcy that we craved and a chance for us to learn more about what he needed as a micro-preemie.
Join us as we educate the public about prematurity this month!
