As the holiday season approaches, Healthy Birth Initiatives (HBI) is seeking gift donations to help support the families in our program. You can help make our holiday celebration a success by donating toys and gifts.
Healthy Birth Initiatives serves over 700 low-income African American women and their families living in north, northeast and southeast Portland. Many people are not aware that the African-American infant mortality rate is twice that of the general population.
We offer a variety of supportive services to help reduce infant death and illness.
