Home Visit Program

“Nobody has ever cared about me like this – not even my family.”

Our Home Visit Program matches rural and isolated families with a community-based volunteer who visits weekly for about 3 months. There are no income requirements.

Home Visitors help ease postpartum challenges and give you and your new baby the best possible start.

This program is designed for families with a baby (or babies) under 1 year old.

We prioritize families in the rural Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts because of this area's isolation and lack of existing support programs. If a volunteer is available, they may be matched with families outside of the Hilltowns.

Postpartum Home Visit Support May Include:

Being a friendly face and connection to the outside world
Holding your baby while you take a shower or nap
Helping you care for your baby and older siblings
Providing information on community resources
Running errands for you
Picking up and delivering items from the Village Closet
Accompanying you to appointments
Providing a helping hand around the house
Please note:
Volunteers are available to provide meaningful support to postpartum families. They are not meant to be house cleaners, though they may be able to help families with light tasks. They may not be left alone in your home without you.
