If you know--or are a member of--a military family, you know how hard it is to wait on pins and needles for a loved one to get home after a long deployment in a dangerous place. Parents wait anxiously for children, children wait anxiously for parents. But some wait both for the return of a partner and the arrival of a baby at the same time.
Operation Shower is a non profit program designed to give aid and comfort to women expecting babies while their spouses are deployed. The organization sends a "shower in a box" to individual women as well as hosting "unit-wide" showers for groups of expectant moms. The boxes are filled with gifts and goodies packed in a festive way to cheer and help a new mom.
If this sounds like something you'd like to support, the organization could use your help. You can donate gifts, money, time and space to host a shower, or you can gather a group to sponsor a box or a unit-wide shower. For more information, contacts are available at OperationShower.org.
