This initiative will offer no-cost doula support to Black families in California through the following programs:⁣

Black Doula Awards | Beginning July 15th: Our program will sponsor $1000 Black Birth & Postpartum Doula Awards to 50 Black doulas serving clients with due dates 8/1/20 - 11/15/20.⁣
⁣
Frontline Doula Hotline | Beginning August 21st: In this new social era, our modern take on the "hotline" is a respectful "warm line" that will allow 200 Black pregnant and postpartum individuals in California to connect with a community doula via phone call or text.⁣

40-Day Postpartum NOURISH! Meals | Beginning August 2020: In partnership with M2M Postpartum Justice Project @m2mpostpartum, we will be providing 480 hot meals, for 6-weeks to Black birthing individuals in Alameda County.⁣
