Helping People Succeed is coordinating a month-long “Baby Shower,” during April asking for “baby necessities” to be collected for families in need.

“April Shower” boxes will be placed in businesses throughout Martin County and will be collecting infant-type items such as developmental toys, baby clothing, rattles, books, diapers and wipes.

The items collected will directly benefit our children and families served through our Healthy Families program. Healthy Families offers support and services to families who may be experiencing stress in their lives that makes parenting more challenging. Services are offered through home visits with a Family Support Worker which may start before or shortly after the birth of a baby, and can continue until the child’s 5th birthday.

This outreach activity during the month of April allows the community to provide these much-needed items to our families. In many cases – the families who we serve may have not had a baby shower.

You can find an “April Shower” box and drop your items off at the following locations: All Creatures Animal Hospital, Beachcomber, Blossoms, Kimberly Dettori, DDS, MA, PA, Gary Law Group, Harbor Wear of Stuart, Helping People Succeed, Kinane Corporation, Martin County Clerk of the Court, Martin County Tax Appraiser Office, Palm City Chamber of Commerce, Sandhill Cove Retirement Living, Spraker & Prinz Attorneys and Thrivent Financial Services.

April Showers will run through April 30th. For more information or to make a contribution, please contact Glenna Parris at 772.320.0778 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
