Veterans don’t stop serving when their military careers end. They serve their families, their communities, and often take on leadership roles at work.
For our veterans who transition not only into civilian life but into first-time motherhood, our baby showers are often their first introduction to our services.
These distributions provide more than new baby gear but allow veterans to build meaningful relationships with other women veterans, our team, and provides access to additional resources like our childcare assistance program for when they are ready to return to the workforce.
Your support affords veterans like Amelia to embrace her identity as both a new mom and a veteran. Not one or the other.
“To the incredible people at the Foundation for Women Warriors, I just returned home from the baby shower you hosted, and I don’t even know where to begin. The obvious love and care you all put into the event, the incredible generosity, the kindness and patience as I floundered asking for help…
I was absolutely overcome and cannot begin to express my gratitude to your organization. I have been overwhelmed with my pregnancy, and didn’t know where to start, and hoped that I might be able to find a little help, even in the way of pamphlets and recommendations.
What you all gifted my family is far more than an incredible head-start… it was the confidence that we are not alone in this, and that it’s okay to ask for help and guidance. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you do, not just for us today, but for the countless lives you’ve changed by your efforts and kindness. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!” -Amelia, Navy veteran
Your generosity ensures veterans like Amelia remain mission-ready: as parents, community leaders, students, and employees. This is your impact!
