This grant will cover the salary and benefits of a part-time, bilingual coordinator for Mothers’ Helpers’ storefront support center.

Baby essentials can easily total $2,500 in the first six months of an infant’s life. These costs place a significant strain on low-income families. Through community donations and volunteer workers, Mothers’ Helpers has been able to provide at no cost many of the items parents need for a new baby. However, with only one paid, part-time program manager, Mothers’ Helpers now finds that they can no longer keep up with the large volume of donations and many requests from families.

Mothers’ Helpers will hire a part-time, bilingual coordinator for their support center. This person will oversee daily operations, train and manage volunteers, help sort and store donations, supervise staffing of donation drop-off and pick-up hours, and work with the program manager to expedite the processing of parent requests.
