Caring Hearts & Hands of Quail Creek (CHHQC) is preparing to hold its annual Military Baby Shower for the 162nd Wing of the Air National Guard in Tucson on National Armed Forces Day, May 18. Thirty soon-to-arrive new patriots will be “showered” with new baby items that are packaged and delivered to the Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson on the day of the shower. This Baby Shower is for the enlisted military families who have the greatest need for help at such a joyous yet stressful time. Many of these families are experiencing the deployment of their loved ones to the Middle East with the uncertainty of their safe return, along with delivering healthy and happy babies. To alleviate some of these stressors, CHHQC members will once again be busy sewing baby items, working with the QC Quilt Covey for baby quilts and receiving blankets, and requesting residents donate new baby clothes and monetary gifts.
The need is especially critical for new baby clothes in 3-month to 12-month sizes for boys, girls, and neutral outfits. Watch for collection dates and locations in early April through the daily What’s Happening emails. In the meantime, if you want to get a head start on baby shopping, donations can be dropped off at the following three Quail Creek locations (there will be marked baskets for donations): 2502 E. Wrightson View Drive, 2680 E. Sawyer, and 531 N. Keyes.
Thanks in advance to the Quail Creek residents for their continuing support of this worthwhile activity.
