Virtual Baby Showers

Let Soldiers’ Angels help you welcome your new bundle of joy through a virtual baby shower!

Congratulations! We are thrilled to hear that your family is growing and our volunteers are eager to help you welcome your new baby to the world! Register now and let us shower you (virtually).

Eligible expectant mothers will receive a virtual baby shower from Angel volunteers across the country. Our dedicated volunteers shop for baby items to help your family prepare for your new little bundle of joy. They may also put their personal sewing and crafting talents to use and lovingly create handmade baby gifts, including blankets and booties.

Eligibility and Documentation

To be eligible for the program, the expectant mother must be the spouse of a deployed Service Member, Post 9/11 Wounded, Ill, or Injured Veteran or their spouse, or HUD/VASH Veteran or their spouse.

Expectant families can register after their 20th week of pregnancy and will receive support within 90 days of their estimated due date and must not have already given birth.

Those interested in receiving this support will also need to provide the below documentation:

• Families with a deployed Service Member must submit Military ID, deployment orders, and verification of pregnancy from a doctor to be considered for a virtual baby shower. The deployed Service Member must also be registered for Deployed Support through Soldiers’ Angels.
  
• Post 9/11 Wounded, Ill, or Injured Veterans or their expectant spouses must submit DD-214 Service 2 or Member 4 Copy (if Veteran) with an Honorable Discharge, verification of pregnancy from a doctor, and a proof of wound, illness or injury (line of duty determination, Purple Heart, or VA Disability rating findings) at least 10% disability rating, or Military ID (if currently service on active duty, guard or reserves).
