Baby, We Got You: A Community Baby Shower
Facilitated by: Mama Glow Foundation Summer Fellows
Baby, We Got You! is a free parent-centered community baby shower designed to celebrate and support expectant families during pregnancy and the transition into parenthood. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with maternal and infant health providers, participate in a nutrition education workshop, and engage in a baby-wearing presentation. Through these experiences, families will receive essential baby supplies, culturally informed education, community resources, and opportunities for connection, reinforcing the belief that it truly takes a village to raise a child and that families thrive when supported by a strong community of care.
We invite those planning to grow their families, those currently expecting, and those supporting pregnancies to join us for an afternoon of celebration and excitement on the journey to welcoming a new bundle of joy to the world.
