Welcoming a new baby can be a challenge for military families, as they often live far from their extended families and their finances are often tight.
Operation Homefront is here to help.
The program hosted 50 new and expecting military parents at a “Star-Spangled Baby Shower” on June 5 in Cookstown. During the shower, Operation Homefront distributed essential baby supplies, including cribs, mattresses and nursery sets provided by Delta Children.
