In time for Mother’s Day, Clubs Richelieu of the Mid-North are working with local agencies to help young mothers and their babies.
The club’s Playpen/Crib Campaign installs playpens or cribs in businesses in the Greater Sudbury area, in North Bay, in Blind River and in the municipality of French River until May 7 to collect the products.
The items collected will be distributed through Better Beginnings, Better Futures, namely the Baby’s Breath program, in Sudbury; the Ontario Early Years Centre of Nipissing in North Bay, Sudbury-Est Community Health Centre and the Alban Nurse Practitioner-led Clinic in French River.
In Blind River, the products will be distributed in the community as the need is identified.
