Caregivers & Kids Gathering
Moms and caregivers of young children who are living with limited income or unstable housing are invited to join us in this safe place for you and your young children (0-5yr) to come rest, play, talk, and grow in community together.
Each gathering we’ll take time to talk through helpful topics important to you (like healthy self-esteem and resilience, strengthening families, life skills) while kids have a safe place to play, enjoy crafts and activities, and make friends.
Meet us at Knox in the Winchester Room (on the 1st floor).
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
