Building a supporting & inclusive community for every parenting journey.

We envision a community where all future and current parents feel empowered, connected, and supported throughout their perinatal journey.

A place where essential resources are readily accessible to everyone, diverse experiences are embraced, and no one faces the challenges of parenthood alone.

Our Mission

It Takes a Valley: Perinatal Resource Collaborative is the bridge connecting young families to the perinatal support they deserve.

Our Impact

It truly 'Takes a Valley' to raise a child. We are honored to be your guide in helping you connect to the resources you need.

Collaborating organizations, health professionals and support groups that offer resources for all perinatal families.

“It's an amazing local resource that brings together the community of parents and local organizations. And the best part is that they host a free baby gear swap twice a year where you can donate your old baby gear and get free hand-me-downs from other parents doing the same.”
