Bubbles for Babies: A Community Baby Shower and Fundraiser will benefit Joseph's Project: A Pregnancy Resource Center. It's a party, so come join us! We will have Bubbly Mimosas, Brunch Bites from Sweets and Meats, Roasters Coffee, a great silent auction--perfect to grab a mother's day gift (that also supports a mom in need) , a bubbly-pop photo booth and floral bouquets designed by Caprock HS students up for sale.
Supported by Catholic Charities of the Texas Panhandle, Joseph's Project is a new and vital program that provides free services, support, and education to families as they prepare for their pregnancy and child's infancy. Our mission is to empower and guide individuals through this crucial time. offering everything from parenting classes, prenatal care advocacy, essential baby supplies and if needed, referrals to adoption agencies. Our program is unique in that we maintain support of the new family until the child reaches age 3.
We are thrilled to announce this year's Bubbles for Babies keynote speaker, Christine Garner PhD of TTUHSC, who will share how our program directly combats the high infant-mortality rates we face in our communities--some of the highest in our entire state! We invite your attendance to raise both awareness and financial support for Joseph's Project to continue serving communities in most need across the entire TX Panhandle region.
