Decisions about pregnancy, birth, and our bodies belong to us. Not politicians. Virginia's Reproductive Freedom Amendment would write those rights into our state constitution, and it's on the ballot this November.

Kick off October at the doors with us. We'll start with a short training, pair you up, and hand you scripts and materials. Then we go talk to our neighbors about why YES on 1 matters. No experience needed. Bring a friend.

Can't canvass? Request a YES on 1 yard sign, sign the pledge, and check that you're registered to vote.

Pregnancy and the months after take a lot out of you, and rest is hard to come by. Start October by making time for it.

This class is gentle and safe for every trimester and for recovering bodies after birth. You'll stretch, practice breathing, and meet other parents in your community. No yoga experience needed.

Bring a mat if you have one. We have extras if you don't.

Drop-off is open. Got clothes, toys, or baby gear your little one has outgrown? Bring them in today and they'll go to a family who needs them at Saturday's Baby Swap.

We take clean, gently used baby and kids' clothes in all sizes, toys, books, baby gear, and items for pregnant and postpartum parents.

It’s the last day to donate ahead of our clothing swap day tomorrow! Bag up what your kids have outgrown and drop it off on your way through the day.

Everything you bring gets passed along free to another family on Saturday. Clean, gently used clothes, toys, books, and gear only, please.

Chest/breastfeeding can be beautiful and really hard, sometimes on the same day. And getting real help isn't always easy.

The Village Feeds is a free monthly group where nobody's judging and nobody's rushing you. Bring your questions, your frustrations, your wins. Whether you're feeding at the chest, pumping, using formula, or a mix, you belong here.

RSVP FOR THIS EVENT

Today's the last day to drop off for tomorrow's Baby Swap. If those outgrown onesies, toys, or bottles are still sitting in your closet, now's the time.

Clean, gently used items only. Tomorrow they go home with a family who needs them.

Let's talk: Coping with Labor & Your Support Person's Role

6:30–7:30 PM · RSVP

This week is all about getting through contractions. We'll practice breathing techniques and go over positions, massage, counterpressure, water, and heat and cold.

We'll also talk honestly about medical pain relief, including epidurals, spinal blocks, nitrous oxide, and IV medications, with the pros and cons of each. And support people will learn what to say, what to do, and how to speak up for you in the room.

Bring your partner or support person. This one's for them too :)

The first week of feeding a newborn can feel like a lot. Tonight we'll walk through what to expect, from colostrum to when your milk comes in, plus hunger cues and how to tell your baby is getting enough.

Let's talk: Medical Interventions & Complications

REMINDER: It's Election Day, so vote first, then join us.

This week covers what can happen when birth doesn't go as planned: induction, Pitocin, breaking your water, fetal monitoring, episiotomy, and forceps or vacuum delivery. We'll go over the warning signs of complications like preeclampsia and infection, and when to get help right away.

Most of all, we'll practice asking questions and making decisions with your care team, not having them made for you.
