We disbanded in Sept. 2025, but will maintain this page to provide community information and to find sponsors to take over our programming Our mission is to provide resources and supports to help families in Otsego County raise safe and healthy children. Through our community partners, we provide items and education such as portable cribs, crib sheets and wearable blankets and infant safe sleep ed
ucation to families who need a safe place for their infant to sleep, lice removal kits (including a laundry voucher) at area schools so that children can return to school in a timely manner after an outbreak, home safety supplies and first aid kits to prevent home accidents and to stop minor injuries from becoming more severe. We also provide infant car seats at the local hospital to families who deliver there and who do not have a car seat to be discharged from the hospital and who are unable to purchase one on their own. We also distribute books to elementary aged youth at community events to encourage family reading and support childhood literacy. We believe that by providing these necessities to families, it will ease financial burdens of families who are already financially limited and reduce stress. We also believe that providing these resources will prevent child maltreatment and neglect in the home. We also provide community resource cards that have contact information for various community organizations and are distributed through social service agencies that are useful for families who do not have smartphone access or an easy way to keep this contact information.
