baby shower

Army Veteran Samantha Hoving was one of 49 women Veterans at Houston VA’s ninth annual Veteran baby shower.

Women Veterans program at Eastern Oklahoma VA hosted drive-thru baby showers in Muskogee and Tulsa to ease some of the new addition stress.

“When they called, I told them I already had my baby and they said I was still welcome to come. It’s nice to be thought of, so here I am.”

VA Northern Indiana Health Care System recognized our Women’s Health Clinic and expecting mothers with a baby shower. Local Elk's Post 155 donated $10,500 to the Women's Health Clinic.

Twenty-five Veteran families received baby essentials, clothes, car seats and bedding. Community donors helped to make the third annual baby shower possible, this year a drive-thru event.

The VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System hosted their third annual baby shower, this year as a drive-through event. Staff, volunteers and families were near tears. A special gift from their VA family.

Diane Ahrens joined the Marines in the late 1970s and served as a military police officer at Parris Island, South Carolina.

Next month, VA will host baby showers across the country, celebrating over 2,400 Veteran mothers and fathers welcoming babies in 2018. VA’s Nationwide Baby Shower event will have all the trappings of a traditional baby shower

To honor and support Veterans welcoming new children into their families, 60 VA medical centers around the country will host baby showers between May 5-16, the weeks surrounding Mother’s Day.

Volunteers worked with the VA to plan the event, which gave the Houston-area women Veterans a chance to connect with other women Veterans and be honored for their service in the military.
