“My family doctor told me about this program when I was pregnant. The program connected me with a food bank, helped me get subsidized daycare, and I got advice on sleeping and parenting issues. I have one-on-one meetings with a social worker. They even send me a food box with vegetables and fruit which has been a terrific help.”
