What is a Community Baby Shower?
A community baby shower celebrates and serves new/expecting parents and families with young children by providing education, support, supplies, and resources to help give a strong start to parenthood. Investing Early hosted the first community baby shower in Manitowoc County in 2023 to reconnect with families who missed out on community resources during the 3 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year, the group looks for ways to improve the event in order to better serve Manitowoc County families.
