Drop-In Center
The Drop-In Center provides parents with respite.
A place where they can come with their children
to socialize with other parents, talk with staff,
receive information and referrals, use the client telephone,
or browse in our donations room
where there is an abundance of adult and children’s clothing,
toys, books, baby equipmentand household goods.

Playroom
While parents are engaged in support center activities,
their children can enjoy the playroom.
A child care staff person, with a background in
early childhood education is on hand to provide
developmentally appropriate activities, which stimulate
the learning and creative potential of the children.
This staff person will also assist parents with appropriate
behavior management techniques when needed.

Educational Classes/Support Group
Classes are offered at various times during the day in an effort to meet the scheduling needs of the clients.
Most classes are typically part of a 6-8 week series. Curriculum materials are utilized which cover such areas as child development, parenting styles, behavior management, communication, health, safety and nutrition.
Emergency Needs Assistance
We receive grants to purchase new baby equipment,
formula and diapers that are distributed on an emergency basis
for those clients experiencing economic crisis.
Unfortunately, due to safety considerations we cannot accept
or distribute used car seats.
We also provide families with food from Gemma Moran Food Bank
and the use of the resources in the community kitchen.
