Client Needs
We accept many new and gently used items for our mommy & baby boutiques at our Jackson and Gibson County clinics! Thanks to generosity throughout the community we generally have more than enough of many items, including some diapers sizes and baby clothing sizes, but our needs vary by month. If you are planning to purchase items for our boutiques, please contact us ahead of time at 731-664-8443 (Jackson) or 731-855-2900 (Gibson County).
