For those who don't know us:
Mother Hubbard's Kiddie Cupboard is a nonprofit store. We supply baby, toddler and personal care items to young mothers. We do not accept cash. The only form of payment accepted is Baby Bucks. All a young mother needs to do to earn them is attend school, keep an important appointment, is on time, registered with the Health Dept for routine home visits, etc. Baby Bucks are distributed by doctor's offices, Stephenson County Health Department, at school, and many other Social service agencies as an incentive for responsible parenting, Baby Bucks can be used to purchase diapers, wipes, books, clothing, blankets, cleaning supplies and more! Store hours are Tuesdays 10-12 p.m and Thursdays 10-12p.m.

This is an extremely special THANK YOU to the children (and their families) who attended Vacation Bible School at Bolton Community Church. They generously donated lots of goodies as well as $450!
I cannot express enough the love and gratitude I have for this little Church! Donations included a pack-n-play, diapers, children's books, diapers, baby wipes and toys, children's toys, and special items just for the mothers! May God bless each and every one of them!
