GRACE Care Baskets...Providing
Comfort When it is Needed Most.
GRACE Care Baskets can be ordered by friends or family on behalf of the parents
who have just experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. A Missing GRACE
representative will hand deliver a basket if the Basket order is within the
Minnesota Twin Cities Metro Area. The GRACE Care Basket or GRACE Totes not
being hand delivered are shipped priority overnight or delivered by currier
service. It is important that baskets are received by the parents while still
in the hospital with the baby whenever possible. The resources are still of
great value and help however, if parents are receiving the basket after giving
the baby up to the hospital or after they have gone home. The last 2 items are
not included if the parents will receive it after the baby is no longer with
them.
