Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

Good beginnings provides free assistance to individuals and families with newborns from birth through age 6 months. Good beginnings' programs are available to every family with a new baby in our upper valley region (an approximate 40-mile radius from our west lebanon, nh office), including adoptive and foster families, regardless of income or circumstance of the family. Our services include an in-home volunteer visitor program and an education/support program. Many families engage in our in-home volunteer visitor program, which matches families with a trained volunteer (often living in the same town) who visits once a week for 2-3 hours for three consecutive months to provide respite for exhausted parents at a vulnerable time in a family's life. Our education/support program provides parent educational materials, children's books, emergency financial assistance, emotional support and community connections. This year we also developed a new mom,"mentors of moms", program for virtual support of mothers of babies, as part of our education/support offerings. This fiscal year good beginnings served 54 families with in-home volunteers, 44 families with education/support, and 465 individuals throughout all our services.
