Organizations and birth givers may request care packages. Any pregnant or postpartum mom or birth giver may request a care package for themselves. Any organization or agency who serves moms, birth givers, and infants may request up to 10 care packages per month. Please submit a request for each month you would like to receive care packages.

Any currently pregnant or postpartum birthing person can receive a perinatal care package. Whether you find out today that you are pregnant, deliver your baby tomorrow, or have a 20-month-old, you are eligible to receive a care package.

What if I received a care package for a previous pregnancy or delivery?

That is okay! These care packages are not only for first-time mothers. They are for any pregnant or postpartum birthing person of any age, any number of births or deliveries, any demographic, and any location in the state of Georgia.

The perinatal care package includes a blood pressure monitoring system, a thermometer, compression socks, a breast pump, a candle, fun Knick knacks, information about safe sleep, OBGYN visits, post birth warning signs and other resources for families.

If you ever have suggestions, things or items that would be helpful during the perinatal period, do not hesitate to send them to thecoalition@hmhbga.org with the Subject Line: Perinatal Care Package Suggestions.

The wait time for a care package is about a month. You should expect to receive your care package by or before the 3rd week of the month following your request. For example, if you request a care package in June, you should expect to receive it by or before the 3rd week of July.
