Services Directed at Immediate Needs

Services that support the family’s immediate needs, with a focus on the physical, social and emotional well-being of themselves and their baby.

Our Resource Center maintains an inventory of needed items, such as diapers, wipes, children’s lightly used or new clothing, formula, and infant equipment and supplies.

Infant and toddler library

Our Library has many books for the new parents on pregnancy and childhood development.
