Why We Run
Cradle of Hope provides rent assistance to help prevent evictions and family homelessness, giving families a stable place to raise their babies. We also distribute baby shower baskets and provide infant safe sleep education, portable cribs, sleep sacks, and crib sheets to ensure that every baby has a safe place to sleep.
