The Metcalfe Park neighborhood association, Community Bridges, recently hosted its first Community Baby Shower at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. New and expectant moms were treated to lunch and received gifts including clothing, toys, portable play pens, diapers and information from parenting organizations.
Community Bridges members also presented mothers with certificates promising community support for them and their babies.
Excellent. Would be very interested in staying abreast of any new developments in this program. Such a great initiative.
