Why Your Support Matters
Across our communities, too many families face barriers to accessing essential baby supplies during the postpartum period. Diapers, wipes, and formula—basic necessities—are often out of reach during one of life’s most critical and vulnerable moments.
All summit registration fees and funds raised will directly support the purchase of diapers, wipes, formula, and other essential baby items to be distributed at our Community Baby Shower, ensuring families receive tangible, immediate support.
