OPERATION BUNDLE OF JOY: Public Baby Shower

The Public is Invited to a Very Special Baby Shower For Women Veterans
A MATERNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM by the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (DVAMC)

On Saturday, October 13th, the VFW Post 7262 Ladies Auxiliary and Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR are hosting a public baby shower, Operation Bundle of Joy.

The public is asked to donate needed baby and mother items for this program. The shower is from 2:00pm - 4:00pm at the Greenville VFW Post 7262, 219 North Ohio St., Greenville. Refreshments will be provided to everyone that donates. Also everyone that donates the day of the shower will be eligible for a door prize drawing (need not be present to win).

Donations can also be dropped off at the Greenville VFW Post 7262 now until Oct. 13th or by calling 548-2398.

The Operation Bundle of Joy program is being developed to assist in providing continuity of care for our maternity Veterans and to show women Veterans our commitment to their health care needs throughout their lifespan. Maternity Veterans are referred for obstetrical care in the community. Once referred DVAMC often does not hear from the Veterans until after the delivery of their child. The program will help us to close the gap and help women Veterans transition from VA to the private sector and from the private sector back to the VA.

BABY ITEMS NEEDED:
Receiving Blankets, New Born Pampers, Infant Towels & Layettes, Pacifiers, Bottles, Booties, Clothing, Safe Baby Toys, Basic Infant Care Needs

MOM ITEMS NEEDED:
Candies, Lotion, Bubble Bath, Bathrobes, Candles, Sparkling Grape Juice/Cider
