Understanding Baby Supply Need

Crisis Baby Supply Needs

Beverly's Birthdays, a local Pittsburgh nonprofit, is seeking to understand more about baby supply need (formula, wipes, diapers, baby food, etc.) in our community.

We currently offer a program, Itty Bitty Birthday Cheer, in which we provide newborn care packages to our network of 80 agency partners and their clients. Additionally, in 2020, we kicked off free community baby showers for expecting women and parents/caregivers of newborn.

With COVID-19 changing the landscape of need, we are working to understand more about the struggles families are facing.
