There's so much going on in Washtenaw County during the month of May!

Community Baby Shower

Did you know that a new baby goes through about
 
10 diapers a day!?

That costs a lot of money for parents that are just barely making ends meet. You can help them out by giving to our Community Baby Shower. All donated items will be distributed to local non-profits serving low-income Washtenaw County families.

Don't have time to shop but still want to help?  Our Community Baby Shower is registered.  Shop on line for the top baby essentials and have them delivered right to our office.  Can it get any easier?  Start here!
