Our giving bucket is full again, so we're taking all the food we've been collecting up to the food bank at our church, Chase Oaks Church in Plano. This month, we're going to be filling our giving bucket with something different. Instead of picking out one food item each time we go to the grocery store, in February, we'll be picking out baby items. Baby food, cereal, bottle brushes, pacifiers, baby bath soap, ect.... When our giving bucket gets full this month, we'll be donating it to the School Age Parenting Program through PISD. Someone has come from this program the past 2 years to talk with the MOMS group at Chase Oaks Church. With the help of this program, students of Plano ISD who become pregnant can get the support that they need. It has really inspired me to reach out to them in some way. Becoming a mom can be such a scarey thing when you're an adult. I can't imagine what it must feel like to realize you'll be bringing a baby into this world, when as the mom, you're still a child yourself. These moms need all the support they can get!
The Plano ISD School Age Parent Program has volunteer / mentor opportunities and accepts donations. This info is available on their website:
We accept slightly used baby clothes, maternity clothes and baby items such as cribs, car seats, books, toys, etc. Please deliver any donations to: Allan Bird Education Center
