NYSB5 Supporting New Parents with Baby Bundles
|
|
|
|
The NYSB5 project is providing funds to distribute Baby Bundles to underserved communities. The NYS Council on Children and Families, in partnership with the SUNY Center for Human Services Research, sent a survey to agencies who work with people who have or are expecting children (e.g. hospitals, OBGYNs, social services, community agencies, early childhood programs) to learn about the materials and resources they provide to new parents. The findings, which can be found
here
, helped us identify the need for the targeted distribution of NYSB5
New Baby Bundles
!
This bundle of materials will be provided to new parents (birth, adoption, foster) in a reusable tote bag, and include books, brochures and helpful resources for families with children age 0 to 5. If your agency is interested in distributing bundles for your community, apply below today. Applications are due by August 6th.
