SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – South Lake Tahoe’s inaugural Locally Grown Community Baby Shower kicks off on Thursday, June 25, at the new South Lake Tahoe Recreation and Aquatics Center, and invites pregnant or postpartum families residing in El Dorado and Alpine Counties to join for free resources and support.

“We’re so excited to be partners in this new event,” said Sarah Abram, Resource and Referral Supervisor at Catalyst Community. “It’s going to be a great way to connect new and expecting families with community resources and also with each other, to build community and make sure they have the most support ready for their growing families.”
