Our History
The South Boston program started in 1998. Since we started we have provided over 900,000 diapers to over 650 babies! We are currently serving 62 babies in South Boston. We are excited to start a new site in Needham, MA in spring 2009.
The original founding site for Baby Basics was in Ridgewood, NJ in 1992. All existing programs have been established under the guidelines, mission statement and criteria formulated from this original organization. They operate under their own 501(c)(3)s and have separate operating boards.

Why I support Baby Basics
"I am so involved because I see and hear the struggles of daily living and the inside stories of hardships. Families feel your love and support and the hope helping creates. They feel the caring and sharing that goes long after distribution. They in return help others in need when occasions arise. It becomes more than you dream. I see their hope and them feeling they are not alone.”
– Mary Lou Rosher, WIC Representative, Baby Basics Volunteer
