Our Wellness and
Food Program

We have partnered with Four Roots a local nonprofit based in Washington state that focuses on redefining community relationships with food along with addressing food insecurities. With this partnership, The Shades of Motherhood Network is dedicated to making sure mothers and babies are fully nourished during prenatal and postpartum. Together we are crushing the crisis around food security.
