Calling all expecting parents and families with little ones 3 months or younger!

You’re invited to our Annual Community Baby Shower and trust me, you won’t want to miss this celebration.

We’re bringing the fun with games, food, raffle prizes, and plenty of baby‑friendly goodies. It’s a chance to connect, laugh, learn, and leave with some amazing essentials.

A huge shout‑out to our incredible community partners who make this event possible every year. And an extra‑big thank you to Adoption Circle for their generous donation of 60 pack‑and‑plays, 60 packs of diapers, and 60 sleep sacks to support safe sleep for our tiniest community members. We’re bundling these into what we’re proudly calling our “Safe & Snug Pack.”

Come celebrate with us, grab some great resources, and enjoy a joyful day made just for you and your baby.

We can’t wait to see you there!
