Cornerstone Reproductive Health (formerly known as Pregnancy Resources at Cornerstone) is currently in need of diaper donations. Especially needed are sizes 4 to 6, but all sizes are welcome.

Donations can be dropped off at the Cornerstone office, located at 5280 Lincoln Highway, Gap. "People are asked to call and schedule a time to drop off donations on Mondays through Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. We can schedule appointments around our clients," explained Olivia Imchen, Cornerstone's director of client services and advancement.

The diapers will be used to supply Cornerstone's baby boutique, which is currently running low. "When (clients) are involved in our parenting program, they can get diapers, wipes, formula and clothes from our baby boutique," Imchen explained.

Free diapers and formula are also donated to community members who are not involved in the program. "I have a list of regulars who will call once a month, and we have others who were referred by a friend and are in need," said Imchen. "Sometimes we can chat and talk about the classes that we offer. We connect one-on-one with them."

Parents can earn points to "purchase" baby items they may need by attending classes. "We have parenting classes, birth classes and prenatal classes," Imchen said. "Each class is worth two points, and they have homework points they can accumulate as well. They use that for cribs, mattresses, car seats or Pack 'n Plays. Everything is brand new, and it is all donated."

In addition to parenting classes, Cornerstone offers relationship classes. "We have a curriculum that we bring into middle and high schools," Imchen noted. "We talk about building a healthy relationship, recognizing the warning signs of abuse and breaking abuse patterns."

Cornerstone has presented the program at Solanco High School and at several private schools in the area. Plans call for the program to be presented again in February, which is observed as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. "We have a great relationship with the schools in the area," noted Imchen.

Cornerstone serves as a resource for women experiencing unexpected pregnancies. It offers free pregnancy testing, ultrasound and prenatal and parenting incentive programs, among other services.

"We have more services rather than just pregnancy resources," said Imchen when explaining the agency's name change. "We changed over in the summer. We wanted it to be a little more medically focused and encompass more services and include men."

The agency is also working on staffing a mobile medical unit, which it acquired in November. Volunteers are needed to work in the unit, assisting nurses with patient appointments. "We are not using it quite yet. We are working on staffing it," Imchen said. "It will offer the same services we offer at the office, including pregnancy confirmation and ultrasound and STD testing."
