Do I Qualify?

Families with babies and toddlers under the age of 3 years old interested in becoming a part of the Baby Basics, Inc. program must first be screened by one of our professional referral agencies in South Boston. These agencies are WIC (Woman Infant Children Nutritional Program) and the social workers in the Pediatric and Women's Departments at the South Boston Community Health Center.

The criteria these agencies will be using is the following:

1. Must be a resident of South Boston
   
   
2. At least one parent/guardian must be working.
   
   
3. The family cannot be receiving any federal or state cash assistance and must meet the financial guidelines for WIC.
   
   
4. On the child's third birthday he/she will no longer be eligible for the Baby Basics, Inc. program.
   
   
5. Each family is asked to sign a product liability waiver and also agrees to allow Baby Basics, Inc. to use the child's picture for fundraising purposes outside of South Boston. (Baby Basics, Inc. does not use the child's name for such purposes)
   
   
6. The parents/guardians agree to inform Baby Basics, Inc. at (617)305-6899 if they are unable to attend the twice a month, Thursday distributions. Failure to notify Baby Basics, Inc. two distributions in a row (one month) will result in the removal of the family from the program.
