Celebrating the 10 Year Partnership Between The Open Door and North Shore Postpartum Help


I recently had the pleasure of joining Gloucester's Mayor Greg Verga, The Open Door's President Julie LaFontaine, and North Shore Postpartum Help to celebrate 10 years of their partnership supporting families on Cape Ann.

For the past decade, North Shore Postpartum Help has worked tirelessly to provide parents with resources, education, and advocacy during the perinatal period — and through their collaboration with The Open Door, they’ve helped ensure families never have to choose between food and diapers.

In 2024 alone, The Open Door distributed nearly 6,800 packages of diapers thanks to this incredible community partnership.

My sincere thanks to everyone at North Shore Postpartum Help and The Open Door for their compassion, dedication, and commitment to strengthening families and giving every child the best possible start.
