The 18th Annual Solano County African American Community Baby Shower

A More Excellent Way Health Improvement Organization and our community partners are inviting African-American pregnant and breastfeeding women and expectant fathers to the virtual and drive-thru “More Excellent Way Community Baby Shower” on February 25, 2023.

The Zoom celebration is from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by the Drive-Thru Health Fair at the Second Baptist Church at 1170 Benicia Road Vallejo.

This event has received funding from the Solano First Five Children’s and Families Commission. It is free of charge and will include Zoom health and education workshops and a drive-thru health and resource fair that will include incentives and free food. The baby shower will assist the couples in accessing prenatal, safety, and other health care services and essential supplies.

Black babies die twice the rate of other babies before they reach their first birthday. African-American women die three times the rate of any other race from preventable labor and delivery complications.

Improving the pregnancy and birth outcomes of African-American women continues to be a goal of A More Excellent Way Health Improvement Organization and several collaborating agencies. We provide assistance for Solano County families by promoting the importance of early and culturally humble prenatal care, safety, and community support to improve their pregnancy outcomes.

The event will be socially distanced in compliance with all the CDC COVID-19 guidelines.

A More Excellent Way Health Community Baby Shower will be held free of charge on Saturday, February 25th, 2023. The Zoom celebration is from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the Shower Drive-thru Health Fair is from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM at the Second Baptist Church at 1170 Benicia Road Vallejo.

Drive-Thru Health Resource Fair

The 18th Annual Solano County African American Community Baby Shower is scheduled to occur on Saturday, February 25th, 2023. The health resource fair is a vital part of the intervention to connect families to essential services to improve their birth outcomes. If you consider your organization as a critical safety net for families, we hope you will participate.

The event will be outdoors at Second Baptist Church located at 1170 Benicia Road Vallejo, so you will need to bring a canopy, tables, and chairs. More than ever, these families need our support and encouragement.
