It Takes a Village

06/07/2026

When you support It Takes a Village and diaper banks throughout Western Mass, you're doing more than providing diapers... you're helping babies stay healthy!

At It Takes a Village, we believe that caring for our community starts with caring for the people who serve it.

To support the well-being of our team, we will be closed Monday, June 29th through Sunday, July 12th for an organization-wide period of rest and rejuvenation. During this time, our staff will be fully offline, allowing them to recharge and return refreshed!

For urgent needs, please contact [email protected].

Thank you for your understanding, partnership, and continued support of the families we serve. We are grateful to be part of such a caring Village!

Thank you New England Public Media for the feature! Our Executive Director, Lisa speaks candidly about how the supports of It Takes a Village allowed her to be truly seen during her own postpartum time period and how we strive to support all within our Village!

We currently have a number of cribs and bassinets available and would love to see them go to families who can use them!

Choosing pre-loved baby gear helps keep quality items out of landfills and makes parenting a little more affordable for local families.

If you're expecting, know someone who is, or work with families in need, stop by and take a look. These cribs are available free of charge through the Village Closet!

We are running low on a few much-needed items at the Village Closet:

-Newborn clothing
-Children's summer clothing
-Five-point harness car seats
-Travel systems with infant car seats
-Size 2 & 7 diapers

If you're cleaning out closets, organizing baby gear, or your little ones have outgrown these items, we would be grateful for your donations!

Can't drop off a donation? You can also support the Village Closet by shipping items directly to us through our Amazon Wishlist.

Thank you for helping us keep these resources available for families in our Village.

We are deeply grateful to the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts and the generous donor behind this incredible investment in our region’s community.

We are honored that It Takes a Village was selected as one of the recipients of the Community Resilience Grant, part of a $1 million commitment to strengthening organizations across the Valley during a time of growing need.

This support helps ensure families in our community continue to have access to essential resources and compassionate support when they need it most. We are proud to stand alongside so many dedicated organizations.

The donor gave the foundation just three months to distribute the funds.
