Wondering where all the books go? Periodically we profile one of the many community programs that receive books from First Book for the children they serve.

Recipient Group name and location: Baby Peaches was formed in December 2002 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mission Statement: Baby Peaches Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing assistance to needy mothers. Being a parent is the single most important contribution one can make to the world.  Through education, community, and compassion, Baby Peaches, Inc. embraces new parents and new life.

What are the age ranges of the children you serve? We begin serving newborns on day one of life!

How do you use the books that you receive from First Book? We provide Peach Bags to needy families through social workers in area hospitals that have important items like parenting books and DVDs, handouts, baby care items, safety latches, plug covers, First Book board books, rattles, and much more. The bags are delivered to three different hospitals in the Atlanta metro area and given to social workers who determine which moms need the support.

How long has your program been a First Book Recipient Group? Three years.

How many books have you received from First Book? Over 5,000 new books! First Book has done so much for our organization’s mission. Thanks from ALL the children who benefit from your work.
