Expecting Relief is a nonprofit community pantry and boutique founded by Vanessa Bracetty, a Brooklyn resident whose lived experience with poverty and public assistance shaped the organization's mission. The organization takes a three-pronged approach of distribution, education, and advocacy to support families, with a particular focus on mothers and infants. Beyond food and essentials, Expecting Relief offers Doula Relief Services and educational workshops covering first-aid skills, mental healthcare strategies, and legal entitlements for expecting mothers. The organization also advocates with legislators in D.C. and Albany to address the root causes of diaper poverty and food insecurity. Expecting Relief additionally serves families in Broward County, Florida.
