Caring, sharing, and support for new moms and their babies.

Being a new parent is an exciting and fulfilling experience. It also can be difficult, confusing and overwhelming. No one is born a good parent. We learn parenting skills along the way. Right from the Start Welcome Baby offers support and information to women as they become new parents.

Who Are We?
Welcome Baby is a program of community volunteers in NW North Carolina. New mothers are paired with trained volunteers who want to lend a helping hand. Volunteers visit with you in your home or by phone when you have questions, feel frustrated, need information or just want to talk to someone. We are trained in child care, infant development and community resources. Welcome Baby volunteers are caring individuals who want to ease the difficult times and share the joys of having a new baby.
