PREPARES
(Pregnancy and Parenting Support)
PREPARES (Pregnancy and Parenting Support), an initiative of our state's bishops, is our parish's outreach to families in the Black Diamond community who have children 5 and under.
Our PREPARES volunteers provide essential needs like diapers, wipes and clothing to families of all faiths and backgrounds, supporting them as they nurture their children from pregnancy through early childhood. Opportunities are available for volunteers who would like to be a family companion, providing support and friendship to parents. Training is provided.

If you know a family in our parish or the greater Black Diamond area who could use assistance with essential needs, or if you would like to volunteer with PREPARES or find out more, please contact coordinator Gabe Hanzeli at gabehanzeli@gmail.com or Riza Miller at rsuriben08@gmail.com.
