Program for Early Parent Support
4649 Sunnyside Ave N, # 324, Seattle, WA 98103
Now, more than ever, parents need support and community.
On Thursday, March 11, 2021, we gathered virtually to make space for inspiration, learning and for collectively raising critical funds.
290 members of our community have given generously so that we can continue to create inclusive community and authentic connection for parents in our area, expand our programs, work with our partner organizations to offer parent peer-support to under-resourced families and advocate for parents and families in our region who are facing the most disparities.
Parents and children need us, especially now. We know that the social isolation of this pandemic is real for them. And it hurts.
Please donate today to support parents and children to find support, connection, and resources through parent peer-support programs at PEPS.
A huge thank you to our generous Giving Challenge donors, matching all gifts between $300 to $1000; and to our Event Sponsors, generously underwriting our event.

The impact of PEPS
|
“PEPS provided comfort for me; knowing that because I was a parent of a newborn and I was a first-time parent, that I didn’t know what I was doing, no one else knew what they were doing, and I felt comforted knowing that I wasn’t the only person feeling alone or like I was doing something wrong.” - Shinah Lee, virtual PEPS Newborn and LGBTQIA+ Group participant |
