For local families with babies, the goal is connection.

Linking new families to services, to each other, and to the broader community.

For community members, the goal is involvement.

An invitation to take small, meaningful actions that make life a little easier for the families around them.

The phrase "one tiny thing" is repeated in a spiral pattern, with one instance in light blue and the rest in black text.

River Babies — Why the name?
The name draws on “River Rats” — an affectionate term locals in the lower Russian River have long called themselves — reframing the term to celebrate the approximately 100 babies born in the lower Russian River community each year.

Why 100? One hundred babies is an important number. It’s small enough to make something ambitious feel possible.
