FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
On the first and third Thursday of every month, Baby Basics distributes diapers to the families in our program. Because 100% of our contributions go to purchasing diapers, we do not have the ability to rent offices or space to hold these distributions. So, we have relied on the Fourth Presbyterian Church in South Boston to provide us with a place to do our work. In addition to storage and distribution space here Fourth Church provides duplicating facilities. Fourth Presbyterian Church as been very supportive of our program. For their support, we are very grateful.


PROGRAM FOUNDER
Jean Ann Lynch, Executive Director & Founder of Baby Basics, Inc. is a consultant in the field of Volunteer Administration. She has previously served two Churches in the Boston Presbytery, in South Boston and Hyde Park. Jean Ann Lynch also founded Baby Basics in Ridgewood, New Jersey, which is now affiliated with the Bergen County Red Cross and assists over 60 babies while maintaining a large waiting list. "As a former teacher, I have always been interested in child development. All the recent studies indicate the importance of the first 18 months for brain development. I realized that the children in near poverty situations were the most at risk for failure to thrive. Baby Basics, Inc. was born to support these struggling families." Jean Ann is both a visionary and a leader. Her passion is what makes this program the success that it is.


SOUTH BOSTON COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (SBCHC)
The strength of our organization lies in its ties to the South Boston community. The SBCHC represents a tie to the families we serve by acting as a referral agency to the Baby Basics program. We spent some time getting to know the staff of the center and educating them about our program and our eligibility requirement and now they represent one of our strongest partnerships in helping families take advantage of our program.

SBCHC is located in South Boston at
409 W Broadway.


WIC
Another one of our strong referral partners is the WIC program in South Boston. The mission of WIC is to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care. Baby Basics is able to supplement the efforts of WIC by providing diapers to those families who are part of their programs and who also meet our eligibility requirements.

The South Boston WIC Program is located at 386 West Broadway
South Boston, MA 02127
