We're excited to share that planning is underway for the 2026 Community Baby Shower (the 3rd annual!), scheduled for Friday, August 21st at Pacific Ridge Elementary School in Seaside from 4-7 PM. This year, we are grateful to have the Seaside School District as our host and to continue our partnership with Clatsop County Public Health.

The event is organized by the Early Parent Network (formerly the Build Your Nest Pilot Project) and the Clatsop Perinatal Task Force. Kestrel Gates and Jess Sollaccio serve as the lead organizers.

We would also like to recognize North Star Doula and Rebeckah Orton, who originated Community Baby Showers in our community and helped establish the foundation for this work.
