Bread of Life, Inc., a Quest for Health Equity (Q4HE) grantee, recently hosted its third annual Community Baby Shower in Houston, where 100 expectant moms and their guests were showered with refreshments, games, entertainment-and plenty of baby gear.
Guests received giveaway prizes of car seats, diaper bags, high chairs, playpens, and more, and had the opportunity to stock up on essentials like formula, bottles, diapers, and clothing.
"Having a baby is not an easy feat and is often very costly," said Dr. Morgan Rasmus, Vice President of Education, Bread of Life. "The Community Baby Shower provides parents items they need to support the start of their parenthood journey."
Bread of Life Academy, which assists Houston's historically vulnerable population through education and workforce development, and its baby shower program partner, Community Health Choice, a local nonprofit managed care organization committed to helping improve the health and well-being of Texas residents, invited parents who may not have access to a traditional baby shower. Many of the new moms in attendance were sourced through Bread of Life's monthly food and supply distributions and other outreach programs.
Bread of Life's network of community health workers worked to empower these first-time parents by addressing social determinant barriers and providing health education and connections to services.
