HPP: Homeless Prenatal Program

How the Homeless Prenatal Program Helps Expectant Mamas

We’ve officially launched #SpreadTheGood, a give-back initiative from The Spoiled Mama to support trusted nonprofits that care for pregnant and postpartum families. Now, when you visit our online store for our toxin-free stretch mark solutions or breastfeeding essentials, you’re eligible to receive a Mama Bucks voucher worth $10.

On Giving Tuesday, take 25% off sitewide, and our profits will go directly to the HPP.

You can donate your voucher to one of three respected nonprofits: San Francisco’s Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP), Operation Showers of Appreciation for military moms, or March of Dimes. Each organization supports expecting mothers and babies in a different way, so how does a Mama choose where to give?

Over the next few weeks, we’re spotlighting the nonprofits your donations support so you can feel confident about where your gift is going. The first organization we’re featuring is the Homeless Prenatal Program, a long-time partner that’s close to our hearts here at The Spoiled Mama.

The organizers and women of HPP have a very special place in my heart, and I know they will greatly appreciate YOUR Mama Bucks.

What is the Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP)?

The Homeless Prenatal Program is an award-winning family resource center based in The Spoiled Mama’s hometown of San Francisco. Since 1989, HPP has helped low-income and homeless families break the cycle of childhood poverty through case management, prenatal and parenting support, workforce training, and more. Each year, HPP serves more than 3,500 families in the San Francisco Bay Area — and no one is turned away. The only requirement is that the family has a child 17 years old or younger.

How HPP Helps Expecting Mamas & Their Families

Through its Wellness Center, HPP offers critical prenatal education and parenting classes to expecting women. These Mamas are incredibly courageous — many are working to break free from poverty, drug addiction, and domestic abuse so they can build safer, healthier lives for their babies.

Your “Holy Moly” Fact:

Since 1992, more than 3,500 babies have been born to HPP families. Of those children, 90.1% were normal weight and 98.5% were drug-free.

HPP’s support doesn’t stop at birth. The team also provides postpartum services such as home visits to strengthen parent-child bonding, assessing basic household needs (like food, clothing, furniture, and baby supplies), evaluating babies’ development, and helping families stay on track with medical appointments.

One of my favorite programs is the Diaper Bag Program — quarterly baby showers for moms who complete prenatal education classes. We were honored to participate in a recent baby shower, and it was packed with inspiring, FUN Mamas.

Here’s our Spoiled Mama team stuffing diaper bags full of goodies! Every expecting Mama received a Mini Spa Kit for pregnancy-safe skincare and beyond.

And it doesn’t end there. HPP’s Wellness Center also offers yoga, massage, acupuncture, and doula (birth coaching) support — all focused on helping Mamas feel safer, more supported, and more confident as they welcome their babies.

Why We Love the Homeless Prenatal Program

The Homeless Prenatal Program gives families — especially mothers motivated by pregnancy and parenthood — the tools to recognize their own strengths and trust their ability to transform their lives. Through HPP, Mamas can lean on one another, form lasting friendships, and build a community that lifts everyone up.

HPP is also the first agency in San Francisco to hire former clients as program and case managers. Because case managers share many of the same life experiences as the women they support, they’re able to build deep trust, credibility, and understanding with each family. Today, more than half of HPP’s program staff are former clients or members of the communities they serve.

“I Want to Give More — Can I Donate Directly to HPP?”

That’s the spirit, Mama — and yes, you absolutely can. Because the Homeless Prenatal Program provides its services at no cost to families, every donation makes a meaningful difference.
