In the spirit of a traditional baby shower, CIUW's Community Baby Showers are a celebration for new and expectant mothers. The purpose of the event is to serve low-income families, providing baby essentials, supplies, and access to local resources that will help give them a stronger start to parenthood. Families that participate receive early childhood supplies - including diapers, wipes, clothing, and more - as well as the opportunity to meet with various community organizations that provide resources to mothers and families on Cape Cod and the Islands.
To date, you have helped us serve more than 300 expectant families!
I want to send my thanks and appreciation to everyone who made today possible for me and all the other mothers in our community. It is people like you who help make the world a better place. I am very thankful for all the vendors who provided helpful information and all the gifts. It was a great day and I can’t thank you all enough.
