Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske announced Tuesday the new date for the Community Baby Shower, which will now take place Wednesday, May 20 at the City of Long Beach Health and Human Services Department, 2525 Grand Ave.
Schipske has extended the deadline for donations in order to give all residents of Long Beach an opportunity to participate in a project that touches the lives of mothers and babies in need of assistance throughout the city.
“Due to these difficult economic times, your support is especially needed,” Schipske said.
To donate new baby items for the kits (diapers, diaper bags, baby wipes, onesies, blankets, and bibs) drop them off at the Office of Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske’s Neighborhood Office at 2760 Studebaker Rd. between 9am and 5pm Monday through Friday, before Tuesday, May 19.
Tax-deductible donations can be made to Long Beach Cares, a nonprofit organization that raises money to help local public health programs.
