2025 Capital City Baby Shower Info
Purpose of the Baby Shower
Capital City Baby Shower is a no-cost event that provides families with all of the essential baby items they may need. We believe that no family should have to struggle to provide their newborns with necessities like clothes, diapers, car seats, and pack and plays, which is why we are committed to ensuring that families in the Lansing area have access to these important items. Our event is open to all families, and we welcome everyone with open arms.
