A guest may come any time before their 7th month of pregnancy to request Goodwill vouchers (with which they can buy maternity clothes) during Food pantry hours.
Women coming to use the Gabriel Baby Pantry for the first time will receive a mommy gift bag because they are loved.
At the beginning of the 7th month of pregnancy and until the baby is out of 2T clothing, we can provide help with material needs including clothing, bedding, safety equipment, high chairs, strollers, pack n plays, sleep safe education, and a multitude of baby gear.

If it is desired a mentor can be utilized to help a mom in a crisis pregnancy with additional support as needed.
