Healthy Families New York is a free, voluntary, at-home program designed to help new and expectant parents meet the challenges of parenting and ensure the healthy development of their children. The program provides intensive prenatal and ongoing parenting education until the child is of school age. We believe that with proper support and guidance, these parents can be equipped with the parenting expertise to raise their children successfully and independently.

The Foundling is pleased to host our Fall Fête in honor of this important initiative and invites you to “adopt” us as your charity of choice.
