The Salvation Army of La Porte has teamed up with the Family and Youth Services Bureau to open the Mobile Tot Shop in La Porte. It will be open the third Thursday of every month at The Salvation Army of La Porte, located at 3240 Monroe St. This program encourages responsible parenting by providing supplies for pregnant women and for families with infants and young children up to age 5.
Families earn coupons by completing certain activities – prenatal exams, well-baby checkups, health screenings, immunizations, parenting classes and car seat safety programs. Families then redeem the coupons for items such as cribs, mattresses, potty chairs, baby clothes, diapers, strollers, high chairs and toys. All items are new.
For more information call Envoys Greg and Bethany Irwin, or the case worker Jan Roberts at The Salvation Army of La Porte. The phone number is 219-326-5342.
