Description of the Act of Kindness

My husband and I are local foster parents. We love helping local kids, parents, and DSS in a time of need. Foster homes are full in our county and there is always a need for more. We recently received a call for an infant and we were not prepared for the major adjustments from teen/preteens to infant equipment. Thankfully, the First Baptist Church in East Prairie came to our rescue. They were able to open their storage and donate a wonderful car seat, stroller, baby bath, and much more! They made the transition from preteens to infants MUCH easier. I can never thank the First Baptist Church from East Prairie enough for their amazing donations.
