Every baby deserves a healthy start, and you can help make that possible. 💙

United Way of Greater New Bedford is collecting essential items for our Women United Baby Bundle Drive to support local families with newborns and young children. Donations of diapers, wipes, bottles, books, pacifiers, and other baby necessities help ease the financial burden on parents and caregivers in our community.

Want to make giving even easier? Shop directly from our Amazon Baby Bundle Registry, and your donation will be shipped right to our office!

🛒 Registry Link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1WP7FECH14NAV?ref_=wl_share

Whether you donate one item or fill an entire bag, every contribution makes a difference.

Baby Bundles will be distributed during our Community Baby Shower later this summer.

Join us in wrapping our community's newest members in care and support. Together, we can help local families give their babies the best possible start.

In observance of Juneteenth, our offices will be closed today.

Today, we join together to celebrate Juneteenth—a day of profound historical significance, reflection, and celebration of Black resilience, culture, and freedom.

True to our mission at United Way of Greater New Bedford, we remain committed to the principles of Honor, Unity, and Rise. We honor the past, foster unity in our community today, and work together to ensure everyone has the opportunity to rise and thrive.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚
