Community Resources

The GSC is committed to ensuring expecting parents are prepared with and connected to materials and resources to support parenting a newborn or infant child.

Welcome Baby Bags

Our Welcome Baby Bags can be found in our community at the following locations:

  • McLaren Thumb Region (Bad Axe) for expecting parents receiving care at the hospital

  • Huron County Health Department (Bad Axe) for expecting parents who receive vaccinations or other care or support

  • The Great Start Collaborative, by getting in touch with Sarah via the survey link below, or email/phone.

Already received a bag?

Take a minute to let us know what you liked and didn’t like about the bag. If you complete the entire survey, we will email you a free book to add to your baby’s library!
