SUPPORTING HEALTHY CHILDREN

The Bee’s Knees Prayer Quilt Ministry has supported and contributed to the Healthy Babies Healthy Children Program for the past several years. We have donated monetarily and also with Christmas gifts, personal care items and gift cards. We have had the privilege of having program leaders Jamie Ferguson and Sue Imrie join us for tea to accept these donations and show their appreciation.

The Healthy Babies Healthy Children Program (HBHC) is a no cost, voluntary, home visiting program that provides support to parents in the prenatal period and to families with children from birth until their transition to school. Public Health Nurses and Family Home Visitors provide home visits with a focus on:

 •       Healthy Pregnancy and Birth
•       Attachment
•       Growth and Development
•       Parenting
•       Breastfeeding, Food and Healthy Nutrition
•       Self-care
•       Connecting with Community Supports

As Jamie said in a recent email,” Your generosity and kindness has helped pregnant individuals and families with young children experiencing homelessness, poverty, food insecurity, abuse, mental health challenges, trauma, etc. Our program staff want to express our sincere thanks for all that you do for our program and for our communities!”.

We look forward to continuing our support to this worthwhile community initiative.

Scripture: Matthew 19: Then the people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and bless them, but the disciples tried to send them away. Jesus said: “Let the little children come to  me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these”.
