Connections has opened the "Baby Bucks" store for participants enrolled in the Connections program. The program participants can earn "Baby Bucks" for completing tasks that get them closer to their goals.
We are accepting new and gently used baby or young child clothes, toys, and accessories. We are also in great need of donations of diapers, hygiene products, baby detergent, etc.
The Baby Bucks store has already started to help motivate our participants to try new things and to actively participate in our program.
