Members of the Missouri House of Representatives donated two carloads of clothing, food, toys, and other items for the mothers and babies in the nursery at the Women’s Eastern Reception, Diagnostic, and Correctional Center.
Representative Renee Reuter (R-Imperial) organized the drive, and had the opportunity to tour the facility and see how it is allowing incarcerated mothers bond with their babies, and learn the skills they will need in order to thrive and raise their families.
