💙 Dear Whidbey Parents,

We know these times feel uncertain, and worrying about whether you'll have enough formula, diapers, or warm winter clothing for your baby adds stress that no parent should carry.

We want you to hear this clearly: Mother Mentors is here, and we are working hard to have what you need.

To better support our community this month, we're excited to announce that both our North and South Parent Pantries will be open EVERY Saturday in November from 9am-12pm.

NOVEMBER SATURDAY HOURS - 9am to 12pm:

📍South Parent Pantry 5476 Maxwelton Road, Langley

📍North Parent Pantry Whidbey Presbyterian Church 1148 SE 8th Avenue,
Oak Harbor (Corner of 8th and Midway, in the Blue House, up the
stairs)

What's Available: Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Whidbey Island community, our pantries are stocked with:

Diapers
Wipes
Formula (Enfamil, CVS Brand, Similac, and some specialty formulas)
Winter coats to keep your little ones warm
Other essentials to meet your family's winter needs

All available for families with children birth to five.

Have an urgent need outside Saturday hours? Please don't hesitate to
reach out to tasha@whidbeymothermentors.org. We will do everything we can to coordinate and get you what you need.

You are not alone. Mother Mentors stands with you, and we're committed to making sure every family on Whidbey Island has what they need to care for their little ones.

If you know a family that could use a little extra support right now,
please share this post with them. 💛

With care and support, The Mother Mentors Teame

En noviembre, celebramos el Mes de la Herencia Indígena Estadounidense , un tiempo dedicado a reconocer la historia, honrar las tradiciones, y celebrar las contribuciones de los pueblos indígenas y nativos estadounidenses.
En WIC, nos esforzamos para que todas las familias se sientan escuchadas, vistas, valoradas y apoyadas. Estamos comprometidos a brindarles a las familias alimentos nutritivos y recursos culturalmente relevantes que honren las prácticas tradicionales y fortalezcan nuestras comunidades. 🧡
