The World’s Greatest Baby Shower educational program was organized in 2006 by the Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences. Community partners agreed to host educational speakers on car seat safety, breastfeeding, infant dental care, and much more. The “Ask an Expert” session invites experts to answer important questions to expectant parents. 365 expectant moms have benefited from this educational program held every June at the Union County Middle School. The Exit Evaluations have consistently shown increased knowledge in speaker topics. Many useful items are given away at the end of the educational program as an added benefit to our low income Moms!
