Baby Brigade

Who We Are and What We Do

Soldiers’ Angels Baby Brigade provides virtual baby showers for expectant families of the military community, including:

• Spouses of deployed service members 
• Spouses of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans
• Expectant post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans
• Expectant low income and homeless veterans/expectant spouses of low income and homeless veterans referred by a VA staff member***

Expectant mothers will receive virtual baby showers from Angel volunteers across the country. Our dedicated volunteers not only shop for baby items to help the military family prepare for their new little bundle of joy but many also put their personal sewing and crafting talents to use and lovingly create handmade baby gifts, including blankets and booties. In addition, mothers will receive a special gift basket from Soldiers’ Angels.
