Time to Shop Young mothers shopping the Clothing Bank with a little help from the SSFCS members.

The Clothing Bank Young moms can come use the clothing bank by signing up with the school nurse. They can bring in used baby clothing and exchange them for new sizes or styles. The purpose is to provide good clean used baby clothing. Mrs. Bailey (BBCHS School Nurse) will be able to advise young moms on diet and exercise. She will take over the project now that we have it started.
