🎉 Close-Out Celebration
Join us on Saturday, September 20th from 9 am - 5 pm for our culminating event as we honor community impact and the journey toward birth equity!

Thank you to our partners Recycle for Education and Helium Image Inc. for making this event possible.

Participating in Bottles for Birth Centers is an easy yet powerful way to make a lasting impact in your community. Every bottle collected and redeemed helps fund the development of the first freestanding birth center in Queens, NY — a place where families can receive culturally-centered, community-rooted care during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

By donating your bottles and cans, you’re not just recycling — you’re reinvesting in the health and safety of birthing people in your neighborhood. This is a chance for everyone, regardless of age or income, to contribute to something bigger. Whether you're dropping off a bag or rallying your neighbors to join, your support brings us one step closer to birth freedom and family-centered wellness in Queens.

Learn about the benefits of birth center care. Birth centers offer a warm, family-centered environment where care is personalized, respectful, and rooted in trust. Led by midwives, they provide a safe alternative to hospital birth for healthy pregnancies, with a focus on natural, low-intervention care.

Did you know many neighborhoods in Queens are book desserts? This is driving force behind the reason we include the importance of literacy in everything we do. Join us for our monthly Book Buddies meeting every first Saturday of the month. This month we have a special time due to the community baby shower but we hope you can still join us.
