Community Baby Shower -- Get a Chance to Win Tickets to See New BABIES Documentary

It's that time again for the Community Baby Shower. My annual effort to get basic going home newborn kits for low income mothers to use after they give birth in our local hospitals.
The newborn kits are used also as incentives by our Public Health Nurses to encourage moms to complete education classes.

The community is asked to donate the following new items which will be placed into bags so that the Public Health Nurses can use them in their classes:

• Diapers, baby wipes, bibs, onesies and blankets. No bottles as nurses want to encourage breastfeeding.

Drop off your donated items Monday - Friday, 9am - 5 pm by Wednesday, May 19th at the Fifth District Neighborhood Office: 2760 Studebaker Road, Long Beach; or make a contribution (tax deductible) to Long Beach Cares, 2525 Grand Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90815.

If you bring new items to the "baby shower" on May 20th where we stuff the items in the bags and enjoy baby shower cake, you will receive a chance for tickets to see the wonderful new documentary: "BABIES" which is playing at UA Marketplace on Second and PCH. (You can check out the movie trailer in the prior posting.)

The Baby Shower will be at the City of Long Beach Health and Human Services Department, 2525 Grand Avenue (off Willow).
