Are you an expectant mother or the parent of a precious newborn (0-12 months)? Richland Source and other local businesses are partnering together to help change the lives of our tiniest residents.

Join us at Idea Works Ohio for a relaxing afternoon of pampering, delicious desserts, brief interactive sessions with local professionals on a variety of parenting topics, and walk away with a gift bag full of essentials for you and your cherished little one.


What to Expect:
- Each family will walk away with a gift bag and families who complete The Baby Box education will be eligible for a Box. Click HERE to complete.  (The education can take over 20 minutes, so we encourage you to complete this prior to attending the event)
