Baby Haven hosts event
To celebrate its sixth anniversary, Baby Haven is having an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, at its new location at New Hope Commons, 1302 Wall St., Jeffersonville.
Baby Haven recently moved there to accommodate more storage of donated baby supplies and to serve more families. New Hope Services Inc. offered the space to the volunteer organization after accommodations at Community Action of Southern Indiana became too small.
New Hope operates its Clark County WIC program in that location, and will soon operate its Healthy Families, Family Preservation and CAPS programs from there as well. Baby Haven is open, providing, free of charge, diapers and other infant and toddler supplies, including car seats, strollers and other items to needy families from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays of each month and from 4 to 6:30 p.m. the fourth Thursday of each month.
They also are open from 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday for new client intake.
Call 812-288-4304 ext. 343 or contact April Stackhouse at 502-664-4152 to learn eligibility requirements and for more information.
