Week of the Young Child Event in Oconee

Two groups are collaborating to hold an Oconee County event during National Week of the Young Child. Oconee First Steps and Nurse-Family Partnership are planning an Oconee Community Baby Shower—a one stop shop for health information 10 a-m to 2 p-m Saturday, April 18 at Seneca’s Shaver Recreation Center. The goal for the baby shower is to supply potential clients and their families with information on all available resources in Oconee County and to give vendors a chance to showcase what they have. There will be free pregnancy tests on site; free diaper bags for the first 50 pregnant moms; and other giveaways. The purpose of National Week of the Young Child is to focus attention on the needs of children and their families and to recognize early childhood programs and their services.
