This page will describe how our program works.  Please feel free to use the CONTACT US page if you have any questions!



At BabySteps we help families in many ways.  Some of our members just need someone to talk to or a way to unwind at the end of a long day.  This page speaks primarily of how we help with material items.
 
In order to become a member you must submit an application which you get by entering your email into one of the join us boxes on this site.  The application is quick and easy.  You do not have to provide income information in order to become a member.  Our application serves two purposes.  It keeps our members safe, and it lowers instances of fraud.
Once you have completed your application you will gain access to our message board.  On our message board you will have access to a whole host of ideas to stretch your budget and more.  Take a peek at our MESSAGE BOARD page for information on that part of our group.
You will also be able to submit your needs list to the founder.  This list will go into a file that gets sent to the entire group on a weekly basis.  It can also be found on our MEMBERS' CORNER link on this site.  This list is updated as often as possible. 
Members read over the list to see if there is anything that they can help with or anything that they need or want.  Then, they email the founder for more specific information, and they will be placed in contact with the member who was in need of or offering the item mentioned above.
The two members then set up an arrangement for shipment or pick up of the goods.  In some cases shipping costs will need to be paid by one party or the other.  This is for the members to decide together.  If a member can not afford to pay shipping then they may contact the founder.  The founder will attempt to put that person in contact with a shipping angel who may be able to help in this situation.
This is only the beginning of what we do to help one another.  We have shipped everything from 60lb boxes of food to diapers.  We are here to help one another.  We do not judge.  We do not spam.  We do not flame.
