Babe of Wabash County has three goals: to promote good health, education, and relationships with families in Wabash County who have children between the ages of pregnancy and five-years-old. We believe that in order to have a successful community, success starts at home. We also believe that our greatest service to the people of Wabash County will be by providing support, guidance, and mentoring opportunities that help educate parents on good parenting skills and healthy lifestyle practices. Babe mission is building community connections to provide educational, physical, and emotional resources and support for families in Wabash County.

The first way we promote these values through an incentive based program. When families visit the doctor for well-baby check-ups or they go to the library for storytime, they will receive a coupon that is worth $5 in value. Families can take these coupons to the Babe Store and redeem them for baby items such as diapers, wipes, clothing, furniture, and other much needed baby/toddler items. While at the Babe Store, families will enjoy connecting with other families through our classes, playdates, support groups, and other relevant activities.

The second way that we promote these values is through relationship and education. When a family walks through the doors of Babe, we begin by creating a relationship with them. We connect them to resources in our county that they may not know about that will help support good health and education as they raise their children. We also provide educational opportunities through storytime, art classes, and other educational opportunities. Babe is connected with Purdue Extention, Parkview Hospital, and Area Five Programming. More educational opportunites will be created as we continue to expand and grow our organization.

Babe has two big yearly community events: the Independence Day Children's Parade and Babe in Toyland. For more information about either of these events, check them out on our website.

Our big fundraising event is our Online Thanksgiving Bake Sale Auction. This is held in November.
