The Village Every Family Deserves
Since 2009, It Takes a Village has been a crucial safety net for families in Western Massachusetts, providing basic needs supplies, easing postpartum struggles, and helping families transition from crisis to stability.
We understand the challenges of early parenthood, including feelings of isolation and the need for connection. Our programs are designed to build strong, supportive networks among parents, helping to alleviate loneliness and foster a sense of community.

Our Supporters
It Takes a Village embraces and celebrates the unique qualities of every individual in our community. We create an inclusive environment that welcomes children and families across the full spectrum of human experience. We welcome people of all races, ethnicities, and national origins, as well as every faith tradition and belief system. We recognize and value diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Our village includes families of varying structures and parental status, and we warmly welcome those with different physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities. We honor military service members, veterans, and their families, and we respect the confidentiality and dignity of each person’s health and genetic information. By fostering this rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences, we create an environment where every child and family member can fully participate, grow, and thrive.
