Ish-tastic Community Trunk Party
One of the most pivotal times in a moms life is when she has the opportunity to send her child off to college. For some moms the process is not so easy and providing their college student with all of the provisions needed to traverse their first year of college can be overwhelming. This community trunk party will provide basic college staples such as school supplies, dorm supplies and other items to college students in need.
Mommy & Me Shower
From the moment a women finds out she is carrying a child her focus becomes getting this child safely into the world and making sure he/she has everything they need to survive and thrive. While this might be easy for some moms, for many in underserved communities, this is a challenge. The Mommy and Me Shower is dedicated to providing the cities largest baby shower for single moms or moms in need of support. We will provide diapers, wipes and other newborn baby must haves to moms in need. In addition to providing items for the babies, we want to also provide items for mom such as maternity clothing items, small spa treatment items, facials and more.
