At Breastfeed Durham, we know that financial stability is a key factor in ensuring families can focus on the health and well-being of their children—including providing the best start through breastfeeding. That’s why we are excited to share an important opportunity for families in Durham County: DCo Thrives, a guaranteed income pilot program designed to support local families with no-strings-attached funds for 12 months.
What is DCo Thrives?
DCo Thrives is a collaboration between Durham Children’s Initiative (DCI) and Durham County, offering 125 families direct financial support for one year. This initiative aims to reduce economic stress, promote financial security, and provide families with the resources they need to thrive.
Why Does Guaranteed Income Matter for Families?
Financial hardship is one of the most common barriers to breastfeeding and maternal health. Guaranteed income programs like DCo Thrives empower families to make the best choices for their children—whether it’s extending parental leave, securing childcare, or accessing vital healthcare services. This initiative aligns with our mission at Breastfeed Durham to create a breastfeeding-friendly community where all families can flourish.
