On Friday, April 16, 2021, Ascension Healthcare’s Blanket of Love program hosted a “Walk Through Baby Shower” at Ebenezer Church of God in Christ, 3232 N. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The event was for expecting mothers or those who have recently delivered up to the age of 3 months. Those who attended were able to get information, sign up for services, and receive free items to help them care for their expecting and newborn children.
This event was brought to the public by Ascension, City of Milwaukee Health Department Maternal & Child Health, Alverno College, Next Door Foundation, Our Daily Bread PNCC, and WIC. The program helps families connect to other resources, such as housing, food support and basic needs, such as diapers, wipes and infant formula.
