Welcome Lil’ Dragon is a new program focused on the youngest members of the Saint George community. Let us know if you or someone you know is having a baby. We’re assembling birthday boxes for all new babies full of helpful items like diapers, wipes, clothing, blankets, toys, and more. All the items are new. Folks in the community are making many. The boxes also include a few things for moms and dads and the birthday box will be followed with little gifts for each baby’s 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and 1-year birthday. It does take a village. Happily, Saint George has several!
