Community Baby Shower

YOU CAN GIVE FAMILIES A HEALTHY START

It's no secret that newborns need a lot, and it can be a struggle to juggle all the costs. You can help ease the burden and welcome our newest community members by providing valuable encouragement and support to new families by hosting a Community Baby Shower.

How to Host

1. Throw a Party!

2. All attendees bring a baby item

3. Donate baby items to United Way of Northern Utah

   All the items you collect will be delivered directly to a family in our community. Our Welcome Baby Program ensures that every parent with a newborn who enrolls in home visits receives a diaper bag filled with newborn necessities.

What Young Families Need

 

Parents and guardians have a hard 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 as for all new items.

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.
