Nanny S Nighties Inc

Nanny S Nighties Inc is a U.S. nonprofit organization registered with the IRS under the category of Charitable Organization[3]. The organization is based in Columbia, Pennsylvania[4].

Mission and Activities

Nanny S Nighties Inc was founded by Angie Kreider and her father Bob Atkins, inspired by Angie's mother Sharon Atkins, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The organization aims to provide personalized sleepwear and care packages to women residing in long-term care facilities, particularly those who lack the financial resources or family support to afford such comforts[1][5].

The nonprofit delivers these packages in April and December, aligning with Sharon's birthday month and the festive season. For many recipients, these gifts are their only holiday presents[1]. Angie Kreider works closely with local care facilities to tailor selections based on individual preferences, including size, color, and style[1].

Partnerships and Impact

Nanny S Nighties Inc partners with organizations like Shadowline Lingerie to achieve its mission. Through this partnership, they purchase nightgowns at cost-effective rates, allowing donations to stretch further and benefit more recipients[1]. Since its establishment in June 2021, the nonprofit has delivered hundreds of nightgowns, contributing significantly to the well-being and joy of the elderly in Lancaster and York counties[1].

Founding and Inspiration

The organization's foundation was deeply influenced by Sharon Atkins' style and the family's personal experience with Alzheimer's care. By honoring her memory and spirit of generosity, Nanny S Nighties Inc strives to bring joy and comfort to those often overlooked[1]. The nonprofit's efforts are driven by a desire to provide these small luxuries to those who need them most, highlighting the importance of personal care and dignity in senior living facilities[1].
