Mom in the City

Charity Picks
http://www.roomtogrow.org/
The mission of Room to Grow is to enrich the lives of babies born into poverty throughout their critical first three years of development. Parents expecting a baby are referred to Room to Grow by prenatal programs assisting low-income families throughout New York City. Upon their referral, parents visit our warm and inviting space every three months from just before the birth of their baby until their child turns three. During their one-on-one appointments with a social worker, parents select new and nearly new clothing, books, toys and other baby essentials, free of charge, and receive information and support to ensure their child's healthy and secure start in life.
