For over 50 years, Arlington Thrive has bridged gaps for neighbors in need – from rent and utility assistance to childcare and workforce development – Arlington Thrive has been there.
Continuing our tradition of bridging those gaps, we are pleased to announce the creation of the Wee Thrive Baby Pantry, a donation-based shopping experience for neighbors in need of supplemental and essential baby items. Born out of an identified need for baby items not covered by WIC, SNAP, and other supplemental income sources. The Wee Thrive Baby Pantry offers families the opportunity to choose items that meet their family’s needs with dignity.
Launching in February, families with children from 0 to 36 months will be able to access the Wee Thrive Baby Pantry for baby items, including: diapers, bottles, bibs, blankets, socks, and so much more. We will also have select items for new mothers including breast pads.
