📣 A few important updates from BABE of Whitley County!

• First, I apologize for the mistake on "The Circle" and the dates listed on the calendar. Our next The Circle Pre/Postnatal Support Group meeting will be Wednesday, June 17th. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

• Target Brand Wipes Recall: There has been a recall on certain Target brand wipes announced within the past week. If you have recently purchased Target brand wipes and have not used them, please dispose of them. If you have concerns, please check online for information regarding the specific products affected.

• Old Settlers Week: I was just informed that Old Settlers is THIS coming week! Since BABE is now located right in the heart of downtown, we will be closed on Thursday during the festivities.

✅ We will have regular hours on Wednesday.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope everyone has a fun and safe Old Settlers week! ❤️

We are proud to be partnering with our friends at United Way of Whitley & Kosciusko Counties to be a food distribution site this year!!
Every Monday from 10-11 am families can come grab a bag of food at BABE. Drive up to the side of the building by the garage door and we will be waiting!
Thankful for United Way and the continued way they show up for families in our area. ❤️

"People forget that food insecurity extends far outside city limits. Children in rural areas are often hit especially hard during breaks from school, with devastating consequences. We believe every child deserves the basic human dignity of food, and we are deeply grateful to these funders and partners who have made feeding children a priority." -Jama Ross, Blessings in a Backpack Executive Director

We are proud to announce the expansion of our Summer Feeding Program into Whitley and Kosciusko Counties through a collaborative partnership with United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko Counties, Community Foundation of Whitley County, and Parkview Health Foundation. This expansion will provide more than 2,900 weekend food bags to children across rural communities this summer to help bridge the gap for children facing food insecurity during summer break.

Food distribution sites for Whitley Summer 2026 include:

Miami Village
9 & 30 Mini-Storage
Columbia City Parks Department

Community Foundation of Whitley County
