This Giving Tuesday, your donation to BNF helps support new parents facing food insecurity. Your gift helps connect them to resources, community, and the supplies they need to feed their baby.

Many wonderful organizations in the Berkshires work every day to ensure families have enough to eat. Their work is essential, and we are grateful to stand alongside them. At BNF, we see firsthand how food insecurity affects families at the very start of life.

Feeding costs add up fast: formula, milk storage bags, breast pumps, bras, nipple shields, bottles... families can spend $2,000–$10,000 on feeding in the first year!

The good news is that BNF is here to help. All of our services and supplies are FREE. Always.

We are one of the first services that families meet. We are often in contact with new parents within 24-hours after they come home with their baby, and our new prenatal yoga series and prenatal visit program meet parents even earlier. We connect parents to other local services early—food programs, health resources, early-childhood supports—so no family falls through the cracks.

BNF provides all feeding support 100% free:
• Lactation consultations ($100–$350/visit elsewhere)
• Breast pumps + pump parts
• Milk bags, nursing pads, and feeding supplies (nipple shields, feeding tubes, syringes, and more)
• 24/7 warmline for feeding emergencies
• Groups + education with trained CLCs

No copays. No insurance barriers. No income requirements.

Why This Matters

Your support helps families:
• Save hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars in the first year
• Get expert feeding help the moment they need it
• Avoid costly feeding complications
• Receive care from real people they know and trust

BNF turns financial strain into stability, confidence, and connection.

Your Giving Tuesday gift keeps every service free.
Your gift today helps ease the financial stress of infant feeding for families who need it most.
