Help HBP connect to more underserved women and families by "liking" our Facebook page. We also encourage you to invite your friends to "like" us!

Facebook logoBy "liking" and inviting, you'll help at least 3 ways:  

  1. You'll help us reach more women. When your Facebook friends see HBP information on your Facebook page, then they'll be able to connect more pregnant women to us for services.
  2. You'll help us recruit more volunteers. You can help even more when you write a short post explaining what HBP means to you.
  3. You'll help us cultivate more financial support. Partners are directed to our website in order to give online.

If you're not yet on Facebook, just log onto www.facebook.com and open a free account. It takes just a couple of minutes. And you'll start connecting with others online who care about women, children, and families. You could even help save lives.  

Give to HBP and Save Lives

For 20 years, HBP has connected high-risk, underserved pregnant D.C. women and families to health babies in diaperscare, social services, and educational opportunities. Thousands of HBP babies have been born alive and healthy. But recent city budget cuts have slashed HBP funding. We need your help to continue saving and transforming D.C. lives. Give here.

 

You don't have to see them to help.

 

Gifts to Healthy Babies Project, Inc. are tax-deductible. Your support means a true chance for D.C. teenagers and women to have productive lives. Giving online is safe and secure. Thank you for caring and giving!
