The Northeast Family Service Center, a ministry of Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, last Friday hosted a blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Baby Boutique.
The Rev. Joseph Accardi, pastor of St. Bernard Parish, offered the blessing at the center, 7340 Jackson St.
The new initiative will provide NEFSC’s parenting and pregnancy program clients with the opportunity to earn “baby bucks” to purchase care items in the Baby Boutique. Items include clothing, diapers, blankets, bottles, strollers, shoes, rattles and baby powder.
NEFSC staff and clients were joined by Heather Huot, Secretary for Catholic Human Services. ••
