Local Philanthropists Donate Over $3,200 to First Born Program

First Born, a county nonprofit that provides home visiting services, lactation and sleep supports, playdates and parenting education, announced it received more than $3,200 after being selected by 100 Men Who Care at the group s December 11 meeting. The contribution was confirmed in a First Born news release posted December 12, and the organization said the funds would be dedicated to creating opportunities for newer families to connect with more established community members.

The First Born Program serves families in Los Alamos County with children under five, and supports roughly 120 individuals monthly through its mix of direct services and community activities. Staff and volunteers provide in home visits aimed at infant and parent well being, offer lactation and sleep supports that assist early childhood health, and organize playdates and parenting education sessions that build social networks for caregivers.

Leaders of First Born described the 100 Men Who Care donation as a targeted source of support for relationship building among families. The organization s plan is to use the funds to expand small scale events and peer connection initiatives that help reduce isolation and link new parents to experienced neighbors and county resources. Those connections can complement clinical and public health services by creating informal support networks that encourage engagement with local programs.

100 Men Who Care is a local philanthropic collective that convenes residents to pool modest donations for a selected nonprofit at regular meetings. The group s decision to back First Born highlights local philanthropy s role in filling gaps that larger funding streams may miss, and shows the civic appetite in Los Alamos County for investing in early childhood supports and family resilience.

For residents seeking more information about First Born s services and upcoming activities, the organization provides contact and website details through its public announcements and may be reached directly for enrollment and volunteer opportunities. The recent contribution is likely to increase the number and variety of connection events available to families with young children in Los Alamos County in the coming months.
