COMMUNITY BABY SHOWERS

The arrival of a new baby is a joyous occasion, but it can also be overwhelming. Imagine being part of a supportive community that surrounds new families with love and care during this special time. A Community Baby Shower can do just that!

A Community Baby Shower goes beyond gifts; it embodies support, care, and the assurance that every family is not alone on this journey. By contributing, you help families navigate this vulnerable time and take those initial, precious steps with confidence. Your donation could provide essential items like diapers or a stroller, or simply offer the comforting knowledge that someone cares.

Every contribution makes a difference, and your kindness helps create a compassionate and supportive community. Help us celebrate the newest members of our community and demonstrate that all Maine children can grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing families.

Donate today by simply "checking off" Maine Children's Trust on your State Income Tax form to supply essentials, spread joy, and create a lasting impact in the lives of families who need it the most. Because when we uplift families, we foster a stronger future-for all of us.

Each pregnant person/parent will receive a Welcome Baby Bag to fill during their time at the shower. This will include a handmade quilt, baby items, diapers, and more to be found throughout the shower. There will be up to 5 large raffle items available for families including a stroller, car seat, and more! This event is open to all new (6mo or younger) and expecting families in Franklin County. This is a great way to learn about the existing places in Franklin County for parents while also getting baby shower items to support your family and take home with you! Please limit additional guests to 1 support person as the event space itself can only fit so many individuals at one time. No registration is required ahead of time. Doors open at 1:00pm and event ends promptly at 3:00pm. Sign-in (name provided & number of people in your party) required for entry. If you’ve gotten this far, that likely means you’re a parent to a new baby. Congratulations! We hope to see you on October 4th at 1:00pm. Bring a friend, tell a friend! 😊 This year's location is still to be determined
