Services We Provide:
On the client’s first visit, she is given the Full Baby Closet Visit,
which will provide the baby with diapers, formula, baby food,
and clothing. Clothing and diapers are given out every two
months upon completion of the clothing voucher. The clothing
voucher was implemented in order to give clients a base to
take ownership of their lives and decisions.
