Our Annual Community Baby Shower (CBS) is more than just an event—it’s a lifeline for Central Florida families with newborns and expecting families facing tough times. You see, it’s more than just diapers and baby clothes; it’s about lending a helping hand when it’s needed most.
In today’s world, the cost of having a child is increasing rapidly and more and more families are feeling the strain. That is why the support from community members like you is so important. Without your donations and volunteer time, we wouldn’t be able to support these families like we do.
Do you know the numbers?
- Cost of Giving Birth: In 2024, the average cost of giving birth is a staggering $18,865. For families without health insurance, this can be a heavy burden.
- Inflation Impact: With inflation on the rise, the cost of a baby’s first year now exceeds $15,000, eating up nearly 30% of the average family’s income.
- Diaper Dilemma: Diapers may seem trivial, but they’re essential. Babies use up to 300 diapers a month, costing parents around $62.50 monthly, or $750 a year.
