Baby Bottle Campaign
Sunday, May 12 to Sunday, June 16, 2024
What’s Happening?
According to Statistics Canada, the cost of formula has increased by 23% over the last year.
This has significantly impacted low-resourced families in our community and puts already vulnerable infants at risk.
Who’s Impacted?
Some parents formula feed or supplement because of:
- Low breast milk supply.
- Lack of social supports.
- Poor maternal nutrition or illness.
- Infant medical needs and allergies.
- Being a caregiver or single dad.

Why Mentorship Matters.
Each year in the Waterloo Region, people become parents with little to no support.
Many families in our region experience poverty, addictions, mental health challenges, trauma and family violence, all while pregnant or parenting. Community and mentorship helps our clients combat feelings of isolation and instead feel seen, known, and valued.
You can help. You can become the village for the hundreds of families in need of support.
When practical needs are met, hope-filled futures can begin.
Be Part of the Village
Join a steadfast community of care.
Support and surround clients year-round.
