SKOWHEGAN — The third annual free Community Baby Shower will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 11, sponsored by the Somerset Family Enrichment Council and other community partners.
It will be held at Centenary United Methodist Church, 103 Dr. Mann Road. The event is free and is open to pregnant women and families with young children and supports new mothers and families with resources, education and helpful gifts.
The first 150 mothers registered will receive a Welcome Baby Bag filled with items for their newborn. There will be light refreshments. The event will be offered in three 90-minute sessions and families must register before the event.
Dozens of raffle and door prizes will be given away throughout the event, including baby bath items, car seats, pack and plays, strollers, and more.
The Community Baby Shower is designed to support parents and help them by providing basic newborn supplies, knowledge about resources in the community, to make new social connections, and simply have fun together.
Community partners will provide information and giveaways to attendees. Topics include Safe Sleep practices, breastfeeding, health services, the WIC program, car seat safety, self-care for parents, a baby boutique with free gently used baby clothes, and more.
“The Community Baby Shower is a great way to celebrate pregnant women and new families and let them know they are an important part of our community,” said event organizer Kristen Plummer. “Participants at past events have raved about how much fun they had and how connected and prepared they felt to become new parents as a result of attending the shower.”
