Baby Basics Inc

Mission Statement

Baby Basics, Inc. is a nonprofit volunteer organization that provides and distributed diapers and formula, when needed, to babies from birth to two years of the working/near poor in the community of South Boston. We believe that early intervention with infants is one of the best ways for prevention of later failure to thrive. By providing these children with nutritional and hygienic essentials we hope to prevent malnutrition and thereby maximize their potential development. We also provide their families, who are struggling to make ends meet but have incomes too high to qualify for state subsidies, with a supportive safety net from welfare and the opportunity to succeed. We will do this in a caring environment, providing a listening ear, and often, referrals for help, educational programs, and other services.
