The Exchange Club of Lafayette presented a $100,000 check to the Community and Family Resource Center today. The money will go toward renovating this two story house on 3rd Street for the 'Babies Can't Wait' program. The program is for parents with addiction issues who have their children (newborns to age 3) removed from the home. Coordinator Stacey Preyss says the parents get counseling and treatment, along with supervised visits to promote bonding with their children. She says the CFRC wants to help the growing population of families with young children who are being devastated by drug addictions.Wednesday, September 12, 2007
