You Can Give Families a Healthy Start

SPACER

Did you know that diapers, wipes, and formula cost an average of $175/month?

That's a lot for parents with newborns. 

This month, you can help a family make ends meet by hosting a community baby shower.

Any items you collect as a host will be delivered directly to a family in need. Our Welcome Baby program ensures that every parent who enrolls with a newborn receives a diaper bag filled with newborn commodities.

 

What Young Families Need:

Parents and guardians have a hard enough time asking for help when they have a new baby, and we want those in our program to feel valued and respected, no matter what. This is why we ask for all new items. View the full list of needed items here. 

*Remember, every donation, no matter the size, makes a huge difference. These parents are so grateful for the items they receive each month. For many, these are vital items that they could not afford otherwise.

About Welcome Baby

Welcome Baby is a free home visitation program for parents with children aged newborn through three years old, sponsored by United Way of Northern Utah.

Over 99% of donations that come through Community Baby Showers are used for our Welcome Baby families. Currently, Welcome Baby currently has over 60 volunteer home visitors who make monthly home visits to over 240 families participating in the program. Welcome Baby currently serves families in Box Elder, Weber, Davis, Summit, and Salt Lake Counties, and is growing exponentially each month.
