Women participating in the group's mentoring program have opportunities to earn "Mommy Bucks" to be used in the Loving Choices Mommy Boutique. Items available -- all of which are donated and new or gently used -- include strollers, blankets, baby beds, car seats and pack-and-plays. Mommy Bucks also may be used for diapers.
