What is the Shower of Love?

The Shower of Love is a community wide baby shower collecting new and gently used clothing and necessities for Parkland's tiniest patients. 

 

Items are donated to the Parkland Foundation, a non-profit organization that serves the patients of Parkland Health & Hospital System. 

 

The items are then distributed throughout PHHS to the patients and families who need them most.

 

What need does it address?
Last year more than 16,000 babies were born at Parkland Memorial Hospital.  Over 8,000 children born there each year may lack sufficient clothing and items in their homes to give life a healthy start.
