Teddy Bear Den is a March of Dimes community-based, prenatal health promotion program for low-income pregnant women. The program is designed to promote prenatal care participation and healthy behaviors during pregnancy. Teddy Bear Den clients “earn” points toward incentives, such as baby care items and clothing, through a variety of positive, health-promoting activities: attending prenatal care appointments, participating in prenatal education classes, keeping appointments for well-baby visits, etc.
Host a Community Baby Shower
Plan, organize, and host a baby shower to collect baby items, or monetary donations for Teddy Bear Den.
We depend on items donated by businesses and the community to stock the Teddy Bear Den and provide essential items to pregnant and parenting moms in need. Donated items help alleviate the significant financial burdens placed on low-income pregnant and parenting women by providing them with the baby care items they could not otherwise afford.
Examples of past community groups that have held baby showers: Boy Scouts of America, religious organizations, hospitals, businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, and clubs.
