First Born Program News:

First Born Program of Los Alamos has partnered with The Food Depot to supply diapers to any family who can use them.

Each month, First Born has a week’s worth of diapers and wipes to provide for families. On the second Friday of each month, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., families can pick up diapers from the First Born office at 190 Central Park Square, Ste. 216.

There is a simple form to be completed the first time and then families can simply show up for diapers each month following that. Families can also opt to have a proxy pick up their diapers if the pick-up does not work for them.

Diapers are available in sizes preemie to 7. Anyone who use can use these sizes is encouraged to stop by for the next distribution date, Feb. 13, or email welcome@firstbornla.org for more information.
