Learn to Earn
Program
What
is it?
The Learn to Earn program is a way for parents to earn points towards the items needed to care for a baby in
their home. Points are then translated into "money" with one
point equaling one dollar. We encourage everyone who participates to read
books and watch videos on pregnancy, parenting, child development, pre-natal
care, nutrition, and other subjects such as abstinence, adoption and
abortion. You may earn points by attending classes such as car seat
clinics, parenting classes, and other approved events. This is a way of
educating yourself on topics and issues that you will need to know as a
parent. How
does it work?
Items listed are available to clients in exchange for the
appropriate points listed. Baby equipment, furniture, and clothing have
been donated either new or used. Earning
Points
Books and videos, are either one or two points depending on the
size/length. Videos must stay at the Center, books may be checked out and
must be returned within a 2-week period. You may take 2 books at a time.
Classes also count for points that will be determined at the time. (Double
points if the man participates also.)
Clothes Closet Policy & Procedure
-
Clothes and baby items are
donated to our center to provide for families in our area who are in
need.
-
In order to best meet the
needs of you and your child, we ask that you meet with a PLCC counselor
for initial information session before choosing your items from the
Clothes Closet. During this session the counselor will provide you with
information on clothes closet policies along with information about
resources available to you in our community.
-
In order to help as many
families as possible, we ask for your cooperation in only taking items
that you need for the moment and current season.
-
If you are a pregnant
Clothes Closet client, when you are close to your due date, we will try
to provide you with a reasonable number of baby items and a basic
layette to be ready to bring your baby home from the hospital, along
with continued support from PLCC staff.
-
We also ask for your help
in blessing other families in our area. If your child has outgrown
clothes or other items, items remaining in nice condition can be donated
to the Clothes Closet.
*Points are not awarded for donations.
