April Need of the Month: Diapers

The Social Ministry Team is collecting diapers for our April Need of the Month. The diapers will be distributed on an as-needed basis to parenting teens in the Intermediate School District 287 South Vista program.

South Vista serves up to forty pregnant and parenting students at any given time and provides on-site daycare for up to thirty infants and toddlers. The students come from several school districts including Hopkins, Minnetonka and St. Louis Park. South Vista offers a supportive environment that provides prenatal care, home visits after the babies are born by nurses on staff, and homebound academics so students can still graduate on time.

Many of the students receive economic assistance such as WIC for their basic needs, but diapers are not provided under the program. Your help is greatly appreciated and will be warmly received.

The greatest need is for diapers in sizes 3, 4 and 5; newborn diapers are not needed at this time. Place your donations in the barrels located inside Gethsemane’s main entry and near the reception desk. Thank you for making a difference!
