To foster community and provide support, information, and resources to mothers in Lower Manhattan, both online and in person. We do this through an informative and supportive online community, by facilitating new mothers groups, breastfeeding support groups, playgroups, and social events, by organizing select educational events and workshops, and with our email announcements about local resources and events. Our online community and our 15 years of archived posts are a fantastic resource.

Unlike many other forums or social networks, the HRP Mamas online community is not anonymous. Each participant is a verified and vetted local mother. Verification occurs through referrals or in person meetings with group coordinators. This combination makes for an intimate and respectful environment, fostering friendship and community. Our goal is to nurture a supportive environment for expecting moms, new moms, moms new to the neighborhood, and for mothers of older children.
