Community Baby Shower
New this year! Community Baby Shower is now part of Day of Caring!
MAY 8 - JUNE 21, 2023
CHANGE DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN. IT'S CREATED WHEN WE CHOOSE TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF BABIES AND PARENTS WHO NEED IT MOST.
Being a parent can be a challenge for anyone. It can be even more difficult for expectant parents who already struggle to make ends meet. You can show how much you care for our newest community members and provide valuable encouragement and support to new moms by participating in this year's Community Baby Shower.
When you host a baby shower or collection, donate critical baby items, or make a monetary donation, you are giving more families a good start—and that builds a stronger community for us all.
Brand new items needed most:Diapers • Baby Wipes • Baby Books • Digital Thermometers • Clothing (Sizes NB–12 months) • Baby Blankets Besides the items listed above, United Way accepts all donations of new baby items. |
