THE BABE STORE PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPECTANT PARENTS OF PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN TO RECEIVE NEW BABY AND/OR TODDLER ITEMS AT NO COST. THEY RECEIVE COUPONS FOR USE IN THE STORE WHEN THEY PARTICIPATE IN PRE-NATAL EXAMS, WELL BABY EXAMS, LIBRARY VISITS WITH CHILDREN, AND MANY OTHER POSITVE VENUES. BY REWARDING PARENTS FOR PROPER CHILD CARE, GOOD CHILD REARING VALUES ARE INSTILLED, AND CHILDREN RECEIVE PROPER CARE THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE RECEIVED OTHERWISE. IN 2024, APPROXIMATELY 1300 INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED BY THIS PROGRAM.
