donate

Our city is filled with resources and families. But without a hub to bring folks together and a format to disseminate information, raising young children can be a tremendously isolating and daunting task.

Your support will help bring perinatal support, play, music, vetted resources and connection to under-resourced families in geographically isolated communities. By connecting caregivers and children with essential services, our neighborhood center-on-wheels will continue to support our community’s well-being in a new and innovative way. 

together, we can do so much more.

Every dollar counts and we are grateful for your support. Use this form to make a one-time or recurring donation.

“As much fun as my kids had, you saved me when I was at my lowest... you gave me a place to see other parents (aka adults), a place I knew my kids would have fun and be safe, and a community which helped pull me through PPD, even if they didn’t know it. I wish you all the best in your next endeavor and look forward to hearing all about it. Thank you for being part of my SF village!!!

our impact

Over the past 15 years, we’ve served over 16,000 families: 

  • We’ve provided a safe space to play for infants, toddlers & preschoolers. 

  • We’ve hosted monthly visits to Nurse Family Partnership (give first time, at-risk mothers an opportunity to connect with one another & play). 

  • We've partnered with Our Family Coalition to provide respite services to LGBQT parents.  

  • And we have worked with countless other small businesses and nonprofit organizations to make San Francisco a better place to raise children, get support from other parents and caregivers and lighten the load for families with young children.  

You can grow that number even more!

Every dollar raised goes toward facilitating person-to-person contact, creating space for healthy child development, welcoming families from all walks of life, and making the journey for parents and caregivers a joyful one.

Thank you for being part of our community!
