Imagine a place where all families feel supported and have the tools they need to raise their children. Good Beginnings of Central Vermont has been doing this for 22 years and it will be appearing on many of the ballots on Town Meeting Day.
GBCV’s primary commitment is to provide support, mentorship, and education, through weekly volunteer visits to all families regardless of income or circumstances. It also provides free parenting education, free events for fathers or male role models, monthly meetings with support groups such as Ask a Midwife, Babywearers, and LaLeche League. In addition, GBCV offers free and reduced-cost infant carriers, gently used baby items and a community resource center at the River St. office where families can connect with one another.
To learn more visit www.goodbeginningscentralvt.org or find them on Facebook. And don’t forget to check that box on Town Meeting Day so we can continue providing this completely free service so every baby has a good beginning.
