Get Active!

First 5 Sacramento built 23 Tot Lots throughout Sacramento County. These pint sized playgrounds are just for ‘tots’ to be run around, explore, play and be active.

What We Do

Providing breastfeeding support services to ensure moms have the tools to nurse up to at least six months.

Why We Do It

The nutrition from breast milk helps prevent common illness in infants. Breastfeeding also creates nurturing and bonding between mom and baby.
