Mission Statement
The Community Baby Shower Empowering Families. Nurturing Futures. At The Community Baby Shower, our mission is to uplift and support expecting families and caregivers in Lake County by providing essential resources that pave the way for a brighter future. We are committed to enhancing the well-being of our community's newest members and their caregivers, acknowledging that every baby deserves a strong start in life and every caregiver deserves support. Our Vision: We envision a Lake County and surrounding communities where every child enters the world with boundless opportunities and where every caregiver receives the support they need to raise happy, healthy, and thriving children. By fostering a sense of community, compassion, and inclusivity, we strive to create a brighter and more equitable future for all. Our Core Principles: Diapers, Wipes, and More: We are dedicated to ensuring that no family in Lake County and the surrounding communities struggles to meet the basic needs of their infants. Through the provision of diapers, wipes, and a range of new and gently used baby items, we strive to alleviate a portion of the financial burden often associated with parenthood, allowing families to focus more on nurturing their little ones. Quality Baby Clothing: Every child deserves to be dressed with love and care. We provide high-quality, gently used baby clothing and shoes to ensure that babies and their caregivers feel comfortable, confident, and ready to explore the world. Holistic Support: We recognize that parenting comes with its unique challenges, and we are committed to addressing these challenges comprehensively. In addition to essential items, we offer social support and resources in parenting, mental health support, nutrition guidance, child passenger safety education, and safe sleep practices. Through our partnerships and programming, families also receive education on safe sleep and proper car seat use, helping caregivers make informed, confident choices that protect their little ones each and every day. Join us in our mission to strengthen families, uplift communities, and ensure that every baby in Lake County and the surrounding communities has the chance to grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we can make a lasting impact and build a future filled with promise and possibility.
About This Cause
The Community Baby Shower, a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to supporting new and expecting families in Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties. Our annual Community Baby Shower event is heart-centered and designed to uplift new and expecting families facing economic challenges while fostering safety, connection, and community. This initiative was born from the lived experiences of five of our founding board members, all of whom were teen parents. Their lives were profoundly shaped by the compassion and generosity of this local community. Today, they’re business owners, professionals, parents, and changemakers giving back through this event in honor of the village that helped them thrive. Our Community Baby Shower provides essential safety and baby care items, educational resources, and access to supportive services. In the last three years, thanks to donations and community partners, we were able to provide nearly 1000 families with the support they needed to keep their babies safe, and feel more confident as caregivers and prepared from the start. This year, the need is even greater due to the local health departments in Lake and Geauga county eliminating their Ohio Buckles Buckeyes (free car seat and education program) and Cribs for Kids (safe sleep crib and education program). Typically we refer to them but this year we are tasked with making up for the loss. We believe every baby deserves a safe sleep surface and a carseat to ensure safer travel. We do not have overhead or salary costs as we are run 100% by volunteers, all funds are directed to the community. We believe that when families are supported from the very beginning, communities are stronger. Learn more about us at www.thecommunitybabyshower.com
