Mothers impacted by Illinois Baby Pantry

Colona, Illinois

(Our Quad Cities, 28 February) There is some help available to mothers from the Colona Baby Pantry. It provides some essentials to help parents who might be struggling.

That’s why Phyllis Webb has been organizing The Baby Pantry for the last 15 years. She wants to make sure the babies her community have the essentials.

“Even though some of these girls work part time, and try to get by, but diapers aren’t cheap, and neither is the formula. It’s very expensive,” says Webb.

The last Saturday of every month parents from all over the Quad Cities Area, are invited to the Grace Community Church of the Nazarene in Colona. There they can pick up donated items like toys, clothing, diapers, bottles, and shoes.

Newport, Oregon

(Newport News Times, 4 February) The purpose of Newport Project Homeless Connect 2020 was two-fold, said Rich Waller, who coordinated the event held at the Newport Church of the Nazarene on Friday, Jan. 31, as community health improvement coordinator with Samaritan Health Services (SHS).

First, said Waller, was to provide services to those attending, but there was also a goal of assisting in gathering information for the Point-in-Time and Housing Inventory Count.

“It is the prescribed method for counting individuals who are dealing with homelessness,” Waller explained, saying the data gathered is connected to some of the resources available in the community.
