BABY SHOWER FOR EXPECTANT MILITARY MOMS ON TWENTYNINE PALMS

Show your support to our local military and their families.

May 16, 2009 Operation Showers of Appreciation will host a baby shower for 50 expectant military moms on Twentynine Palms.  Many of these families have a spouse that is currently deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan and will not be home for the birth of their new baby.  Our support is greatly needed for these families.

Operation Showers of Appreciation is a volunteer and donation based organization working to assist our local military and their families.  We assist military families who have recently had babies and those that are expecting.

We are currently seeking donations for our upcoming Baby Shower in May to assist these military families.  Any donation will be a blessing to these families as most of them are far from their families and homes.

If you are interested in sponsoring one of our families or making a donation, please contact Kimberly Felshaw at (949) 547-7780 or by email at Kimberly@OperationShowersofAppreciation.org

Please view our website for a list of common items needed for our Baby Showers at www.OperationShowersofAppreciation.org.
