Helping the children you love grow up healthy
from pregnancy through early childhood

Welcome Baby is a voluntary program for families through a partnership between United Way of Skagit County and Skagit Valley Hospital. After the birth of your child, you will receive a gift with an invitation to connect to monthly newsletters, parent groups, and so much more!

The Help Me Grow Resource Directory is full of links to a variety of resources including: parent support groups, basic needs, childcare, family fun & support, health & wellness, kindergarten readiness, pregnancy & breastfeeding, special needs, and more! This is a statewide directory, but Skagit information can be found easily by entering your zip code or city.

Because kids don’t come with instructions. Receive text messages to help you in your parenting journey. We cover it all: tantrums, nutrition, brain-building activities, local events, and much more!  Messages are based on your child’s age, from pregnancy through age 8. Start anytime by texting SKAGIT to 274448. Bright by Text is a non-profit organization. They don’t sell advertising space or share information.
