Senator Brouk to host 4th annual baby shower for new parents
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Senator Samra Brouk will be holding her fourth annual Community Baby Shower this Sunday. Senator Brouk said this event stemmed from her focus on maternal health and supporting young families, but also the personal connection she developed when she became a mother three years ago. The baby shower will feature many community organizations that help serve new parents and their children by providing information, resources, and supplies to families in the Greater Rochester Area. 'We have been collecting donations, we have been reaching out to our local labor organization, they've been donating food, drinks, diapers, wipes, formula,' Senator Brouk said. 'We also have a local daycare center that did their own clothing and wanted to donate some of that to this baby shower. So, we just got a great drop of clothes yesterday from one of our local daycare centers.' The community baby shower will be held this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Thomas P. Ryan R-Center.
