Our local Parents as Teachers serving Festus, Crystal City, Dunklin and Jefferson R-7 was with one of Jefferson County's great St. Louis partners last week! Check it out!

Today was the Annual Partner Meeting with the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank along with a tour of the warehouse. Pictured below is our PAT Director Abby with Hannah, the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank Program Manager.

Parents as Teachers is a proud community partner of the diaper bank which allows us to provide our families in need with diapers and potty training kits at visits and soon we will be providing training pants 😉

The goal is to end diaper insecurity and provide the best care possible to our families and children.
