Four Ways to Show Up This Week
Honoring National Breastfeeding Awareness Month
We want to honor everyone out there doing the heroic job of feeding a baby. We see you. Up in the middle of the night, pulling off to the side of the road, pumping in the closet at work, trying special diets or every formula on the shelf. It’s a hard job, sometimes an impossible job. If that’s your story, you aren’t alone.
Read our full tribute to feeding journeys here and share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
Third round of our Cash Aid Assistance is here
Seven months after the LA wildfires, parents are still displaced, still rebuilding, and still choosing between rent and diapers. That’s exactly why we’re here, and why Cash Aid Round 3 is open through Friday, August 15th. Postpartum care doesn’t pause for disasters, and neither do we. These families deserve sustained support during the already vulnerable pregnancy and postpartum period.

August Volunteer Opportunities
We have immediate volunteer needs and we’re grateful for every hand that shows up:
Friday, Aug 15: 11:30am – Help organize our new storage unit of essential items (3-4 volunteers needed). This is the behind-the-scenes work that makes magic happen—sorting donations so families get exactly what they need when they need it.
Thursday, Aug 28: time TBD – Essential item distribution event specifically for wildfire-affected families (4-5 volunteers needed). You’ll be part of directly getting resources into the hands of families still recovering.
Ongoing opportunities include meal prep and delivery, resource research, and helping us secure in-kind donations from companies.
Are you able to help in any of these? email us at hello@mama2mama.org with your availability. Been away but want to reconnect? Let’s chat about opportunities that spark your passion.
Join The Care Collective
Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to support our work—ensuring that postpartum mothers and birthing people receive the care, essentials, and advocacy they need every single day of the year.
When you become a member of The Care Collective, you not only join our mission but you’ll join a dedicated group of like-minded supporters that provide a steady and reliable source of funding for Mama2Mama. Your monthly donation—no matter the amount—will help us expand our efforts and improve outcomes for families in our community.
Together, we’re building a community were no one faces postpartum alone.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support, whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word. Each contribution, big or small, reminds us daily that postpartum care isn’t just our mission—it’s our collective responsibility. Thank you for being the village that makes real change possible.
