2026 Community Baby Shower
Bringing healthcare, education, community resources, and family support together for one afternoon dedicated to healthy beginnings.

Why We Host the Community Baby Shower
Families should not have to navigate pregnancy, parenting, healthcare, and community resources alone.
CHAP’s Community Baby Shower brings local organizations together in one place so expectant parents, new parents, and caregivers can connect with the services and information they need. By making those connections easier, we help reduce barriers, strengthen support systems, and give families a healthier start.
Featured on WMFD
