The Seeds Women’s Center of Minden held a “Storytime with Seeds” Friday, September 20, and the Webster Parish Library.  

Attendees brought their little ones to hear a story while enjoying refreshments and a raffle for a free case of diapers.  

This also served as an opportunity for Seeds Director Amber Bradford to introduce the organization’s new intern social worker Alexis Hayes. 

“Our new social worker intern from Southern Arkansas University (SAU) is learning to interact with clients, help with giving out referrals, community engagement, and assisting with parenting classes,” said Bradford. “Storytime with Seeds was a way to promote not only Seeds but what all the Webster Parish Library offers for children.” 

The Women’s Center is currently preparing for their annual fundraising banquet set to take place on Tuesday, October 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Minden Civic Center. They have a goal of $60K to raise, benefiting renovations needed at their new building located at 308 Pine Street, formerly known as the Ward Building.

“Our theme for the banquet is ‘Seeds…where love grows.’ As most know we are growing and thriving at our center,” said Bradford. “Currently we have seen over 200 patients and have 86 in parenting classes this year.”
