Shower will benefit Infant Crisis Center

The Edmond Sun

EDMOND — Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Oklahoma City Alumnae Chapter will host its third Annual Hugs and Kisses Baby Shower to benefit the Infant Crisis Center of Oklahoma. The free event is set for 11 a.m. April 30 at Overholser Mansion, 405 N.W. 15th St. in Oklahoma City.

Infant Crisis Services is an Oklahoma-based nonprofit that provides life-sustaining formula and food as well as diapers and clothing for babies and toddlers in time of crisis. Since 1984, Infant Crisis Services has provided food, diapers, clothing and hope for more than 110,000 babies and toddlers.

Working with Infant Crisis Services was a natural programmatic fit for the Oklahoma City Alumnae Chapter. According to Meshawn Conley and Terrainia Harris, the event coordinators, the issues of self-sufficiency, child hunger and infant development are key to the success and development of the African-American community.

Please RSVP for the event by March 23. For more details or to confirm attendance, please contact MeShawn Conley at meshawnconley@gmail.com or 204-5535 or Terrainia Harris a terrainiah@hotmail.com or 819-6595. The Henry Overholser Mansion is co-sponsoring this event.
