A Crisis We Can Change — Together

 

1 in 5 mothers experiences postpartum depression or anxiety. For low-income mothers and mothers of color, that number rises to 1 in 3Too many parents navigate pregnancy and postpartum feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure where to turn for support.

 

While we call it Walk for Moms, this event is truly for everyone who believes families deserve support. It is for dads, partners, grandparents, caregivers, friends, and community members who understand the joys and challenges of raising children and showing up for the people they love.

 

Parenthood does not happen in isolation, it takes a village. Walk for Moms is about coming together as that village, raising awareness for maternal mental health, and ensuring that families navigating pregnancy and postpartum have the care, compassion, and resources they need.

 

Whether you are walking for a mother, a partner, a daughter, a friend, or simply because you believe every family deserves support, you belong here.

 

Together, we walk for stronger families and healthier communities.

 

Your support helps provide:

  • Peer support groups for parents

  • Maternal mental health prevention classes

  • Diapers, wipes, formula, car seats and essential supplies for children and mothers

  • Case Management

  • Family Support and Educational Cohorts from pregnancy through 3 year olds

  • Parenting classes, lactation and feeding support, birthing classes,

  • Trusted guidance and community connection

 

Together, we can help ensure that when a parent reaches out for help, someone is there to respond.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 through Walk for Moms to ensure families receive the mental health support, education, and essential supplies they need.

 

💜 $30,000 in matching donations has already been secured — help us unlock the full impact for families.

Your gift today helps ensure that when a parent asks for help, someone is there to respond.

 

💜 A Parent’s Journey Should Never Be Faced Alone

Right now, somewhere in our community, a new parent is struggling in silence — unsure if what they are feeling is normal, wondering where to find support.

 

One moment of connection can change everything.

Your donation helps ensure that when a parent reaches out, they are met with compassion, resources, and a community ready to support them.

💜 Why We Walk

Every step taken during Walk for Moms represents a family that deserves support, understanding, and care during pregnancy and postpartum.

 

For many parents, the postpartum period can bring unexpected challenges — emotional, physical, and financial. Feeling overwhelmed or alone is more common than many realize, but support can make all the difference.

 

At the Postpartum Support Center, we see every day how community changes lives. When parents find connection through peer support groups, receive essential supplies for their babies, or gain the knowledge and reassurance they need, they begin to feel stronger and less alone.
 

That is why we walk.

  • We walk so parents know they are supported.

  • We walk so families can access the resources they need.

  • We walk so maternal mental health is seen, understood, and prioritized.

And most importantly, we walk so no parent has to navigate this journey alone.


 

💜 Be Part of the Village

Your donation helps provide mental health support, prevention programs, and essential resources for families across our community.

 

Together, we can ensure that every parent has access to the care, connection, and compassion they deserve.

“Finding the Postpartum Support Center reminded me that I wasn’t alone. That support changed everything for me.”

Donate today and help us take the next step for moms and families.
