OUR MISSION is to provide diapers, educational opportunities and other diapering resources for low and limited income families.

OUR KIT/GIFT PROGRAMS:

Families are assisted with potty training using our Potty Training Kits.  We also provide First Time Parent Gift Baskets for At Risk Families with a newborn living in an unsupported living environment that need a little extra help getting started. Our Kit/Gift Program is supported financially by a grant from Jewett City Savings Bank.
