💗 The Mother’s Cove — a program of The City of Refuge GoodLife Foundation — recently participated in the Family Health Resource Fair at the Hilltop YMCA, 2879 Valleyview Drive, Columbus.

Our team was honored to gift expectant mom Zandria A. a diaper bag filled with essentials, including diapers, wipes, baby onesies, and bibs.

Events like this strengthen our mission by connecting local families with supportive community partners and vital resources. We’re grateful to be part of this work. 💛
