RVA - Helping Hands for Babies at the Hub - organize and package donations

Brief Organizational Description: 

For over 30 years, Urban Baby Beginnings has been the leading non-profit providing community support services specifically for pregnant and parenting families in Virginia. We provide an environment that respects the inherent dignity and strength of families and celebrates their successes. We believe that through collaboration and strong community-based support systems, families will thrive.

In 2018 UBB joined forces to establish a "safe spot" for families, free of judgment; creating a place where birthing people, family members, and the community can connect and feel supported. Empowering expectant families to make healthy birth choices while addressing systemic issues that provide a barrier to individuals and communities who deserve high-quality and compassionate care reduces the risks associated with preterm birth and adverse outcomes.
