Mother-Baby
The purpose of the Mother-Baby program is to alleviate the basic immediate needs of children and parents who are disadvantaged by providing them with an emergency supply of formula, baby food, clothing and diapers as well as offering education and supportive parenting classes to help create stronger and healthier families.
The program also provides mentoring and emotional support, life and parenting skills, community service referrals and expectant mother packages for pregnant mothers in their eighth month.
In exchange for all of these services, the recipients are expected to attend one monthly family life workshops and are invited to attend as many as they would like. These workshops include family budgeting, health and hygiene, child development, communication, stress management, nutrition and more. Clients have the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentoring with a trained volunteer or staff member, who will discuss the needs of the family and help them find and access the necessary resources in the community. PlayCare is provided for children during all of the family life workshops for children ages one to five.
