Arlington County is one of the richest counties in the US, yet almost 3,000 children under age four live at or below 200% of the federal poverty line ($27,750 for a family of four). Many are underinsured and face obstacles including transportation, language barriers, and missed work. A 2022 survey found 35% of respondents struggled to obtain basic baby supplies, including the car seat required to leave the hospital. JB-LF is a cornerstone of support in the community, guiding vulnerable mothers to healthcare and providing car seats, portable cribs, breastfeeding starter kits, baby books, diapers, and strollers. It offers resources for education, medical appointments, mommy and me classes, and nursing education. Through partnerships with local organizations, JB-LF expands moms' options for care during and after pregnancy, helping every family bring baby home safely.
