What is B.A.B.E.?
Beds and Britches, Etc. (B.A.B.E.) is a community-based incentive program that provides new and used clothing and supplies for pregnant women and children up to age 5, with sizes newborn-5. The B.A.B.E. program operates stores where families can exchange coupons obtained from health care and social services providers for needed items.
How does B.A.B.E. work?
Pregnant women and families with children can get items from B.A.B.E. by collecting B.A.B.E. coupons from participating coupon distributors and redeeming them for items at any B.A.B.E. store. Large items may be returned or exchanged only if they are found to be defective
(within two working days). Coupons are non-transferable. Client's photo ID must be shown in order to redeem coupons. Coupons expire 18 months from the date received. Managers reserve the right to limit the number of items purchased. Coupons must be filled out completely on the front by the health care provider. Coupons must have a signature and date of service, or they will not be accepted in B.A.B.E. stores.
