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.
