First Annual Community April Showers - Nook Wish List

The Collier County Community Nook Project is a collaborative community-based program that aims to increase the number of women receiving early and regular prenatal care to prevent low birthweight babies, sudden unexpected infant death, premature babies, child abuse, and substance exposed newborns. The program is designed to promote prenatal care participation and encourage healthy behaviors during pregnancy through incentives and education.

The Nook’s clients earn points through a variety of positive, health-promoting activities that can be redeemed on maternity or baby care items.

Throughout the month of April, brand new unwrapped baby items can be dropped off at DOH-Collier and various Health Care Network of Southwest Florida locations in Collier County.

The Nook’s wish list items include:

  • Baby wipes
  • Diapers (sizes 1,2,3)
  • Baby bottles
  • Breast pumps
  • Baby carriers
  • Baby monitors
  • Activity gym/mats for baby
  • Learning toys for ages 0-3 years old
  • Baby safe gates
  • Nursing pillows
