Wabash County, IN (April 19, 2021) – Grow Wabash County encourages the community to join
us in giving a warm welcome to Babe of Wabash County on Friday, May 7, as they celebrate
the grand opening of their location at 88 W. Hill Street in Wabash.
There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. on May 7, followed by an open house
hosted by the Babe of Wabash County team.
Babe of Wabash County aims to be a touchstone for parents in the community that are
looking for resources and support to help them raise a happy and healthy family. The
organization recently launched its coupon program which encourages parents of all income
levels and backgrounds to participate in certain activities such as going to the library or the
pediatrician with their kids for coupons. These coupons can then be redeemed at the Babe
Store to purchase supplies like diapers and wipes as well as other items such as strollers and
clothes.
“The beautiful thing about the Babe coupon system is that it further encourages families to
continue to seek out services that directly benefit their children,” Till said. “It’s a win/win for
everyone.”
Once they are settled into the new space, executive director Katey Till said that Babe also
plans to start hosting classes for parents to help them learn about topics such as good
nutrition and parenting skills that are essential to being a parent. There will also be a focus to
promote good literacy skills in young children.
“It’s been an honor and a privilege to help bring such an amazing organization to Wabash
County,” Till said. “The Babe organization meant a lot to me and my family when my kids were
little and I know what it will do for other families. We are equally just as excited to be promoting and working alongside organizations that are already doing great things in our
community.”
Babe of Wabash County will host an open house from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, May 7 at their new
location at 88 West Hill Street. The ribbon cutting will take place at 5 p.m. followed by tours of
the facility and visits with the Babe team.
