Community Baby Shower

Through June 18, 2024

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 join the 2024 United Way Community Baby Shower, you are giving more families a good start—and that builds a stronger community for us all.
