PREPARES provides essential supplies, such as diapers and clothing, to families with children ages 0-5 who are in need. They also help families who find themselves isolated or alone with support groups, parenting classes, and playgroups like PLAY WITH LOVE or JUGANDO CON AMOR that foster community and opportunities for peer friendships.

One of the key benefits of having the program managed by our local Catholic Charities agency is that issues related to homelessness, housing, legal matters, mental and physical health, parenting classes, and more can be referred to the professional services provided by our agency.
