  The Wellesley Mothers Forum invites all new and expecting moms to a casual stroll! Feel free to come with your young kids, or just yourselves! All moms are welcome.

  Note - this location is on a trail path, so carriers only (strollers are not possible). Please note that this event is one in a series of strolls we are hosting through the winter. Additionally, you can opt in to a group thread (via WhatsApp) to further the connection and support for one another. Meet at Centennial Park (parking off of Oakland St), we will walk a trail. There are many trail options that loop around the park; we won't venture too far from the parking lot so that you can easily warm up in your car if the weather is chilly.

  Share the Love: Join Us for a Heartwarming Brunch Supporting Mothers and Babies!

  We are excited to invite you to a special pre-Valentine’s Day brunch dedicated to raising awareness and support for the incredible work of the Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast – a local nonprofit providing lifesaving donor milk for premature and medically fragile babies. Guests are welcome! This inspiring morning will feature:

  • Deb Youngblood, CEO of Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast, sharing insights into the Milk Bank’s vital mission and impact.

  • Renee Ferraro, board member of the Milk Bank and representative of the BMC Curbside Care Postpartum Mobile Unit, discussing the transformative work of the mobile unit initiative.

  To make this event even more meaningful, we’re hosting an Amazon Wish List Drive for items needed by the mobile unit. The drive runs from January 21 through February 4, and all donations will be displayed at the brunch, showcasing the generosity of our community. For those who wish to make a gift in support of Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast (just $34 is enough to provide 20 essential feedings for a newborn in need), please visit bit.ly/SavingLittleLives or you can donate via the QR code below.

  
  

  This is a wonderful opportunity to come together, enjoy a tasty brunch and make a tangible difference in the lives of mothers and babies.

  We hope you’ll join us to share the love!
