Locally Made Baby Products

Feasts/Meals for Families

These are free meals for families with newborns, prepared and delivered by Birth Circle volunteers. ​Postpartum families who desire to have help in the form of free meals may sign up with us sometime during their pregnancy. After the baby arrives, the new parents notify us through the appropriate form below, and the meals are then prepared and delivered by Birth Circle volunteers.

​

If you are going through another type of transition in your family, or have experienced a loss, The Birth Circle is more than happy to organize a meal calendar to help support you as well.
