September Give: Room to Grow

For our September Give, we are proud to partner with Room to Grow, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families raising babies born into low-income circumstances. Room to Grow was built on the vision that one day, all parents will have the resources they need to unlock their families’ potential and become champions for their babies and their community.

For more than 25 years, their three-year program has provided parents and caregivers with the essentials, support, and resources needed to create a strong foundation for their children’s lives. Room to Grow’s program is designed with both structure and flexibility, ensuring support is tailored to the unique goals of each family. Families meet one-on-one with program staff 13 times over the course of three years, beginning in the last trimester of pregnancy and continuing until their child turns three. These visits combine thoughtful conversations about parenting challenges and child development with hands-on support, as parents choose clothing, books, toys, and other essentials from Room to Grow’s baby boutique. Between visits, staff remain available by phone, text, or email, ensuring families have access to guidance and encouragement whenever they need it.

This holistic approach is rooted in the critical fact that 80% of a child’s brain develops by their third birthday. By equipping families with personalized parenting support, developmentally appropriate resources, and connections to community services, Room to Grow helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive during these formative years. Their work in Boston and New York City has empowered thousands of families and continues to grow in impact with every passing year.
