Playtex Baby Supports Room to Grow
Playtex Baby is hosting a Facebook campaign to support Room to Grow in both New York and Boston. For every ‘Like’ the Playtex Baby Facebook page receives the last week of February and first week of March, the company will donate a Playtex Baby cup, plate, bowl or pacifier to Room to Grow. The core of Room to Grow's mission is to ensure every child's healthy development. To guide this we supply every family with age appropriate bottles, cups and feeding supplies. Currently both sites of Room to Grow have a pressing need for these resources, so the Playtex Baby campaign could not have come at a better time to help us secure these baby essentials. We encourage you to support the campaign and help us spread the word. Please visit www.facebook.com/PlaytexBaby and click 'Like'.

Consider Giving Books
Room to Grow is pleased to partner with GivingSomething, an online platform that helps supporters donate goods to nonprofits. The company is featuring our wishlist of parenting and children’s books, specially selected by our social workers. As part of our efforts to promote early literacy, every Room to Grow child receives ten books at every visit, while parents are provided with instruction on how to nurture language development and a love of reading. Room to Grow also provides customized parenting support and books on child-rearing topics such as sleep, potty training and nutrition. “To give is to receive,” and GivingSomething is helping us continue to serve families in need. You can help by purchasing a book from our wishlists and give to families in New York and Boston.
