Members of the San Antonio North Stake Relief Society were asked to collect a variety of items to support the young women of Seton Home, a therapeutic residential facility that provides healing and education for abused and neglected teen girls who are pregnant or parenting. More than 100 women answered the call, resulting in baskets overflowing with socks and underclothes, hygiene and beauty items, writing journals, and more.
On February 29, attendees of the North Stake’s annual Relief Society Conference spent their lunch hour sorting donations and writing heartfelt notes of encouragement, as others assembled over 3 dozen gift baskets to make young moms feel special. In addition to these baskets, a dozen large boxes filled with socks, underwear, and feminine hygiene products were donated for the use of current and future residents.
Donations were brought to Seton Home and and gratefully received by Executive Director Gladys Gonzalez, who remarked, “The love and commitment shared through the gift baskets from the Latter-day Saints lets our young moms know how much your community supports their journey. The community then becomes family! Thank you for your generosity.”
