"The power of hope: That’s where we come in as providers. That one interaction, that one engagement can really change the trajectory for an individual in need. You’re really looking at a multigenerational solution because we have the opportunity to engage not just the mom, but also the child." -- Susan Loughery, MBA, Associate Executive Director, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, discussing the organization's For My Baby and Me program
