Review for Homeless Prenatal Program, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA
I admire HPP for its belief that all mothers and families deserve the best, regardless of their situation. As an organization, HPP addresses all aspects of pregnancy, parenthood and families, from emergency food supplies to prenatal yoga. It strives to provides mothers and families with not only the bare necessities, but to make pregnancy and parenthood a positive experience and an opportunity to change things for the better. As a volunteer, I get to see pregnant mothers walking out not only with food and diapers, but with the knowledge that there is an entire community to support them that extends beyond the walls of the building. I also experience the success of HPP's programs simply by meeting the staff. Half of them are former clients, but I honestly would never know who falls into the category of formerly homeless mother and who does not. This community of women supporting women is what draws me back everytime and makes the one-way hour and a half bus ride worth it the minute I walk through the doors.
