(Talk of the Town photo by Aubrey Lee) The BABE store, above, will have an open house on Monday and Tuesday -- enabling the community to take a closer look and gain a better understanding of what BABE does.

It’s an open house for a baby you’ll never meet, a family you may never know.
Or maybe it’s the new baby next door or the family with the new baby you saw at church this morning. Maybe the gift you bring to the open house will help your niece, your grandchild?
On Monday, April 27, from 7:30-9:30 a.m. and on Tuesday, April 28, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Beds and Britches Etc. (BABE) will host an open house at their facility located at 103 North Chauncey Street in downtown Columbia City. The BABE program is housed in the Reiff Building and is accessible from a door on the Chauncey Street side of the building, about halfway down.
The open house will give the community an opportunity to come inside and take a look at what BABE offers in the way of goods and supplies to local families – and how these families are able to receive items they need as a sort of reward for making positive choices with regards to the health and well-being of their children.
Open house guests are asked to bring a baby item to donate.
