About the Healthy Babies Program
At Stepping Stones Crisis Society, we believe every mother deserves the resources and support to provide the best start in life for their baby. The Healthy Babies Program is dedicated to at-risk pregnant women and new mothers, offering assistance throughout their pregnancies and up to one year after delivery.
We provide:
- Milk coupons
- Fruit and vegetable vouchers
- Nutritional guidance
- Prenatal vitamins
- Support with lifestyle adjustments and informed decision-making
This program addresses food insecurity and other barriers to maternal health, ensuring mothers and their babies receive the care they need during this critical period.
Who We Support
The Healthy Babies Program is open to all who need it, including:
- Marginalized and vulnerable demographics
- Teen mothers
- Families facing social or geographical isolation
- Recent arrivals to Canada
- Survivors of family violence
Participants often share their gratitude for the program’s life-changing impact:
"When I joined this program, I was almost lost. I’m a single mother who didn’t have the financial, emotional, or family support that I needed. Some days, I wanted to give up, but I knew Healthy Babies would be there for me. You’ve helped make motherhood easier and, some days, literally saved my life!"
— Healthy Babies Participant
