In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the residents of Lawrenceburg gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the LawCo Kids Center, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony organized by the Chamber of Commerce. The event was led by Tabetha Garcia, who, alongside her husband David, co-directs the center. This new facility has been eagerly awaited, as it aims to address the pressing need for mental health services tailored specifically for mothers, alongside providing casual childcare options and a space for local moms to connect with one another.
The inspiration for the LawCo Kids Center emerged from the Moms of Lawrence County Facebook group, which Garcia established to create a nurturing environment for mothers in the community. This non-profit initiative is entirely volunteer-driven and thrives on the support of its member moms. The center’s mission is to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere for both mothers and their children, offering vital resources, support, and a strong sense of community.
The center’s logo, a “messy heart,” beautifully encapsulates its foundational values of embracing imperfections and inclusivity, welcoming all families regardless of their circumstances. It serves as a symbol of a gathering place where mothers can forge connections and establish a supportive network.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony not only marked the official launch of the center but also signified a promising new chapter for families in the area. The palpable excitement among community members as they came together to commemorate this milestone was a testament to the center’s importance. With the LawCo Kids Center now operational, the Garcia family and their dedicated volunteers are eager to serve the Lawrenceburg community, providing essential resources and support to local parents.
