Filling the Bassinet Again

Thank you St. Charles folks for your generous outpouring of love towards new babies and their moms. St. Charles Ladies' Association chose two worthwhile organizations to support this year.

Villa Rosa provides lodging before and after childbirth. Its mission is to support single mothers, babies, and their families. It offers a wide variety of programs in a safe and nurturing environment. Unmarried, pregnant women, or new parents in need may access their services. Villa Rosa was grateful for the bulging carload of beautiful, new baby clothes, blankets, handmade items, diapers, personal hygiene products, and more.

The second recipient was the Family Support Center on Broadway West. The Family Support Centre is a Christian organization providing non-judgmental, compassionate care and companionship to women, men, and children facing difficult situations. It offers a wide range of supportive services that are free of charge and completely confidential. The Centre has been around since 1985 and has helped thousands of women, men, and families. They were delighted to receive several cases of formula to fill their nearly bare cupboards.
