The Baby Buggy, Inc.

Mission

Baby Buggy provides essential items for infants and children to New York City families living in poverty. We accomplish this by collecting new and gently used items from corporations and families and delivering them to the communities with the highest rates of family poverty. Working with a network of social service sites throughout the five boroughs of New York, bringing cribs, strollers, clothing and diapers to families in need, we have delivered over 2,600,000 items to date.

Programs

Baby Buggy brings resources to families in need through a variety of programs including: early childhood education, domestic violence and homeless shelters, court child centers, parenting and pre-natal programs. With the help of our community based organizations our donations help prevent crisis, ensure the well-being of infants and young children and reduce the stress of financial hardship within the families we serve.
