PREPARES of Central Washington

Today we honor mothers in all their forms, those with children in their arms, those carrying children in their hearts, and those who mother through love, service, and compassion. We see you. We honor you. You matter. 🤍💐💐

Today we honor the imagination, laughter, and limitless promise that children bring into our lives. El Día del Niño reminds us how vital it is to care for, encourage, and celebrate every child.

From moments of curiosity to bursts of joy, let’s continue creating a world where every child feels safe, supported, and cherished. Not just today, but always.

To the wonderful kids in our community: you inspire us, and you are deeply appreciated!

Support like this changes lives.

Because of your generosity, PREPARES (Pregnancy and Parenting Support) raised over $400,000 statewide to support infants, children, and families across Washington.

That impact is real—and it’s growing in parishes throughout the state of Washington.

This is what it looks like:
Families being accompanied.
Parents receiving support.
Communities stepping in with care, compassion, and hope.

We’re grateful for the work of PREPARES and the many volunteers who walk alongside families every day—ensuring no one is left to navigate pregnancy or parenting alone.

🌸 Blooming with Hope 🌸
This flower reminds us of the strength found in tenderness. Even surrounded by rough edges and changing seasons, it blooms, vibrant, steady, and full of life.
At PREPARES, we walk alongside mothers and families during their most vulnerable moments. Like this flower, they may be growing through uncertainty, but with support, care, and love, they continue to rise.
Every visit, every listening ear, every small act of compassion helps nurture hope. And together, hope blooms. 🧡

Play & Learn's Easter Celebration Was a Hit!

The celebration began a week ago with a visit from baby chicks, followed by this week’s egg hunt. Our kiddos had a blast experiencing nature and play alongside their parents.

Thank you for helping us foster a safe space for play, learning, and new experiences. 💚

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month 💚

This month, we celebrate the amazing volunteers who make PREPARES possible. Their dedication and generosity are the heart and hands of the program, creating a lasting impact in the lives of families across our community.

Last year alone, thanks to their incredible efforts, nearly 5,000 families received the support they needed. Every hour, every act of kindness, every smile made a real difference.

Volunteers are the true heroes behind PREPARES! 💚

St. Patrick's Day Blessings 🍀

Big thank you to Maestra Marisol, her preschool class, and St. Patrick Catholic School-Pasco for hosting a diaper drive for PREPARES!

This generous donation will help us support many families in our community. We are truly grateful to St. Patrick’s and our Tri-Cities community for continuing to find meaningful ways to give and support our program.

Who knew a container and rice could spark a world of discovery? ✨

Our little explorers had a blast digging through sensory boxes filled with hidden treasures. Sensory boxes are perfect for building fine motor skills, curiosity, and confidence.

Give it a try at home and watch your little ones’ eyes light up with every discovery! 💚
