The Chatham County Health Department welcomes expecting moms and the families and caregivers of young children to a Community Baby Shower on Friday, August 30th. The event will feature giveaways like free diapers and other infant care items, along with raffle prizes and light refreshments.
“In addition to all the free items, we’ll also introduce families to organizations that can provide ongoing support,” said Katee Sykes, Public Health Educator with the Chatham County Health Department. “This baby shower is a way to bring a variety of local resources under one roof so families can get connected.”
The baby shower will be held on Friday, August 30, 2024, at the health department’s midtown clinic at 1602 Drayton Street from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The event is open to pregnant moms and caregivers of children up to age 5. No RSVP is required.
At the community baby shower, there will be information on safe infant sleep practices, breastfeeding support, nutrition programs, car seat safety, and more. Parents can also sign up for safe infant sleep classes where they can receive a free pack-n-play.
The event is sponsored by the Chatham County Health Department, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program, Babies Can’t Wait, Coastal Children’s Advocacy Center, Grow Initiative GA, Savannah Care Center, Over the Moon Diaper Bank, CORE, Safe Kids Savannah, Healthy Savannah, and the Coastal Coalition for Children.
