The mission of Baby Bin is to further help WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) recipients. We do this by providing a free package of diapers every month and baby wash and wipes every other month. Additionally, there is a variety of donated baby clothes, books/toys, and miscellaneous baby items to look through.

Baby Bin is open the first Tuesday of every month from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Perham Community Church. We serve families from surrounding communities including Battle Lake, Dent, Frazee, Henning, New York Mills, Ottertail, Perham, Richville, and Vergas.

In 2009, we served 143 families throughout the year and handed out 772 packages of diapers. From January-May 2010, Baby Bin has served a monthly average of 78 families.

In the past, we have been blessed with donations from other churches and organizations within the Perham Community (Calvary, Maine Presbyterian, St. Paul’s, United Methodist, Focus Women, Kinship Gap, Perham Lions, PMH&H, Perham Rotary, and Countryside Corners 4-H Group, to name a few).

If you know of someone who could benefit from this WIC ministry, please contact the church office at 346-4780 or Cindy Olson at 385-2859.
