For many in our community the journey through pregnancy and early parenting is marked by uncertainty, financial strain, and emotional challenges. 1st Way Pregnancy Resource Center helps bridge these gaps by delivering essential items and services without cost or judgement. Northwood is happy to help 1st Way Pregnancy Resource Center to provide car seats, clothing, and shoes. Car seats cannot be given away unless they are new, quickly taking up funds, and clothing and shoes are needed constantly for children who grow so fast.

CAFA is a nonprofit mental health agency with a mission to create safer environments for children by equipping adults with the knowledge and skills to parent, partner, and live more effectively.
