Welcome to Baby & Me
About Us
Our Mission
To support pregnant mothers who do not have access to paid leave.
Our Why
We know it takes a village to raise a baby, and Baby & Me wants to be a part of that village. There has been a gap in the community, especially among pregnant people from diverse and underserved cultures, who need help navigating the postpartum phase. We know how challenging this transition can be and how environmental, physical and emotional stress can affect parenthood. That is why Baby & Me was born to support mothers and families with basic needs and resource navigation.

- Diapers for first 4-6 weeks(newborn & size 1)
- Wipes for the first 4-6 weeks
- Emergency diaper & wipe kits for Lincoln Lancaster Health To Go vending machines
- Baby & Mom essentials for Postpartum baskets
- Community resources and information

Danielle Garcia (Executive Director)
Danielle Garcia is a mother of two who had a vision to start Baby & Me due to her own experiences of working and prepping for a child. Danielle learned that a meal, a ride, or even community resources was what helped her get through the transition and was able to stay home longer to bond with her child.

Aimee Grindstaff (Secretary)
Aimee Grindstaff is a busy mother of two girls, Josephine, 3, and Bellamy, 1. As someone whose family lives out-of-state, she found the postpartum period to be challenging without relatives nearby to help with meals or to watch the baby while she ran errands. This is one of the many reasons she joined the Baby & Me team and hopes to pay it forward to other moms in the community who need support.

Brit is a self-employed mother of a teenager who understands the importance of a village. No matter the circumstance, navigating motherhood can be tricky and sometimes feel lonely. As a mother, she found comfort in feeling seen, heard and valued. We all have different experiences as we lean into the journey. Knowing you’re not alone is the first step in becoming the incredible mother you were designed to be. We see you and we’re here for you.

Testimonials
”I’m so grateful to Baby & Me for the kindness and support they’ve shown me during my maternity leave. Receiving diapers and wipes for my baby, along with a personal care kit for myself, has been such a blessing during this special but sometimes challenging season of motherhood.
Those essentials may seem simple to some, but they have truly made a difference for me and my baby. Knowing that there are organizations willing to support mothers during such an important time means so much to me.
Thank you, Baby & Me, for thinking of moms like me and helping make this journey a little easier. I’m truly thankful and appreciate everything you’ve done for my family.”
