December 17, 2023 Bulletin

The MISSION PROJECT for December is Lily’s Place. Lily’s Place opened its doors in October 2014 as the first Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Center in the United States. This facility provides observational, therapeutic, and pharmacological care to infants suffering from prenatal drug exposure. They use proven therapeutic handling methods and the latest weaning techniques to make these babies as comfortable as possible. If you wish to make a contribution, please write LP on your check memo.
