Resource Mothers
Completely funded through donations to Mercy Health Foundation Lorain, the program offers resources, support and education for pregnant women and new moms, through baby's first year of life.
Each participant is paired with a resource mom who is a trained health worker and a mother herself. Resource mothers give advice, educational information, and help with accessing resources. When you give to this program, you help women get prenatal care, learn how to care for a new baby, or get free infant care items like diapers or formula.
