Northview Christian Church Donates to Officer
Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit
Indianapolis, Ind. - The Northview Christian Church congregation recently donated $2,000 worth of baby supplies and toys to the newly christened Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit (previously known as the Wee Ones Nursery Program). The "Dollar Club" of Northview Christian Church collects one dollar from each member at a handful of services throughout the year, then donates the money to worthy causes.
Given the shortage of items in stores due to the coronavirus, the Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit has been accepting donations of diapers, wipes, formula, and other baby items. The pregnant women and mothers in the unit have been so overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the Northview Christian church communities and want to express their gratitude to all who made the donation possible.
The Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit is a unique experience with the goal of building strong families by allowing eligible incarcerated pregnant mothers to keep their infants with them until release. Since its inception, the program has admitted over 300 pregnant offenders and reunited over 200 infants with their mothers after delivery. The Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit encourages the preservation of family by providing incarcerated mothers and their children a meaningful transition into the community, utilizing a holistic approach for the continuum of care by recognizing the mother's strengths and barriers to social determinants of health.
The Officer Breann Leath Memorial Maternal & Child Health Unit was dedicated on April 16, 2020.
