Empowering families from conception to early childhood through support, resources, and community.
Who we are:
Be the Sunshine Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to support families during one of the most important, and often overwhelming, seasons of life.
We proudly serve as a beacon of support and guidance, walking alongside families from pregnancy through early childhood with real, tangible care.
Rooted in community and built alongside Sunshine Indoor Play, we are creating a space where families feel seen, supported, and never alone.
What we do:
Through our programs, resources, and partnerships, we provide meaningful support to families in our community.
Everything we do is centered around four key areas:
Scholarships
from play to postpartum care and everything in between
essential supplies
Diapers, wipes, and everyday essentials for families
support services
Support, education, and connection for parents
community & events
Meaningful moments to connect, make friends, and build community

Lactation Collection - Once monthly - Dates TBA
Our Lactation Collective, led by Makenna Harris, is a safe place to land no matter where you are in your nursing journey. With hands-on support, a new focus each month, and time for open discussion and Q&As, each group is customized to meet you where you are. Come as you are.
There are so many meaningful ways to be part of what we’re building. You can give financially to help us provide support and resources to local families, or donate essential supplies like diapers, wipes, clothing, and baby items that go directly to those in need. If you have the time, volunteering is a beautiful way to get involved and help us serve our community in a hands-on way. You can also sponsor a family, giving them access to play, support services, and connection they may not otherwise have. And if you’re a local business or organization, partnering with us is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. However you choose to support, every contribution helps us show up for families in real, tangible ways, and reminds them they’re not alone.
