The event is designed to connect families who are pregnant, newly postpartum, or have children ages 0 to 3 with essential resources, supplies, and education to support their health and wellness.
The North Escambia Baby Shower will be held inside the Century Community Center (Ag Building) at West Highway 4 and Industrial Boulevard from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday.
