Staff from MCH Family Outreach in San Antonio celebrated its
community and families this month during events at local nonprofits.
On Nov. 7 MCH Family Outreach in San Antonio attended the
grand opening of the new Texas Diaper Bank headquarters located at 1803
Grandstand Dr. Suite 150. The new facility is 30,000 square feet and will allow
for the Texas Diaper Bank to continue offering diaper assistance to families in
need in Bexar County.
MCH Family Outreach in San Antonio formed a partnership with
Texas Diaper Bank which allows diaper assistance to families being served
through Family Solutions and GAP programs. Participants of parent education
classes are also provided diaper assistance for their infants and toddlers as
an incentive for class participation.
“Families being served by MCH Family Outreach have been
grateful for the diaper assistance made possible through our partnership with
the Texas Diaper Bank,” said Melissa Arroyo, director of MCH Family Outreach in
San Antonio.
On Nov.9, San Antonio staff members spent the morning giving
back to their community by volunteering at The DoSeum, San Antonio’s Museum for
Kids. The mission of The DoSeaum states, “Through joyful learning and
discovery, The DoSeum grows minds, connects families, and transforms
communities.”
MCH staff were assigned to separate exhibits throughout the museum
and assisted San Antonio children in attendance from class field trips. Ages of
children ranged from infants to school-aged. MCH staff assisted in Little Town,
Spy Academy, and Dream Tomorrow Today exhibits.
“It was a great opportunity to give back to the San Antonio
community and staff enjoyed sharing in the children’s time during their visit
to The Doseum,” Arroyo said.
