In Da Hood, Weekly Round Up, November 6

We've compiled some info about a selection of cool local services that leave their info in our Threads "InBox"! They're worth a gander!

First of all, Room to Grow. This is one of our favorite charities and we know our clients have stuff to donate. This is a great spot to donate new or nearly new clothing, books, toys and other baby items in excellent condition. Their direct-service program provides parents in poverty with one on one parenting support, developmental information and all of the needed infant and toddler items to ensure a healty and secure start for their children.  Room to Grow, 54 West 21st Street, #401, NY NY 10010 – roomtogrow.org

Then we have a flyer from Baby Bites – a super cool support group for new moms. Back when we were only online, Babesta used to showcase our goods at their new moms luncheons. It's a great group of fun moms, all at the same stage of parenthood! Check it out at manhattan.babybites.com

And, we've got a load of shutterbugs gracing our in-boxes. Peruse their work and see who would be best to capture your little one on film!
