Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to provide needy pregnant mothers with practical support, including help to pay for prenatal care, cribs, strollers, clothing, grocery cards, diapers, formula, and other needed items
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We support good health and well-being by helping needy pregnant mothers pay for prenatal care, as well as providing them with necessary resources for their babies' health, including diapers, baby gear, clothing, grocery gift cards, breast feeding items, and nutritional products including formula and baby food.

We have many volunteers who are able to help get material resources to our client mothers and help them with prenatal care costs.
