Sponsor a Gift Bag

Gift Bag Order Form

Tandem makes custom totes for to-be siblings and to-be parents and postpartum parents. These are great baby shower or postpartum gifts.

Each gift bag comes in a Tandem cotton tote and is filled treats such as tea, snacks, skin cream, bath salts and more.  Sibling bags include fun, mess-free activities for the new big kid siblings. For more details on the pregnancy, postpartum, or new sibling kits, go to our order form.

Sponsor Tandem Membership

Sponsor Tandem Membership

Our goals at Tandem are simple: 

  1. Offer all services regardless of ability to pay.
  2. Limit barriers for accessing resources.

We serve countless families who COULD NOT ACCESS critical resources if they had to pay.  We prioritize offering services and resources in ways that minimize harm.

Unfortunately, while some of our programs are well funded, not all Tandem programs have guaranteed funding in 2025.  

In order to offer more sustainable, long-term access to all members of our community to Tandem services such as: 

Tandem offers an optional membership program.  Members have benefits that improve their experience in our space and give them members-only discounts while still allowing us to collect necessary data for grants and keep our services accessible to all.

We hope you will consider signing up for membership today, or gifting or sponsoring membership for someone else in our community.

One of the easiest ways to help Tandem is by talking about Tandem. Let other people in the community and beyond know what's going on and what the goal of Tandem is.

Follow Us On Facebook and Instagram

Sign up for our newsletter and follow Tandem on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok! Share our posts on social media and tag friends you think might be interested. The goal is to have as many community members as possible invested in Tandem, so spread the word!
