2026 R.O.C.K. Mat-Su Community Baby Shower (Palmer)
Beacon Hill is partnering with R.O.C.K. Mat-Su to host a Mat-Su Community Baby Shower in Palmer!
This is a FREE, open-to-the-community event!
Registration Required.
Each year, the baby showers evolve as the creative minds of community partners find new and exciting ways to meet the three goals of the Community Baby Showers:
1. Celebrate Mat-Su Families and our newest residents
2. Provide an opportunity for parents to connect
3. Allow parents to add new skills to their parenting toolbox
The community baby showers are for Mat-Su families who are expecting or have an infant up to one year old. Every year, we give away up to 250 gift bags that include approximately $100+ worth of baby essentials to help give the family the best start possible.
Additionally, we offer door prize giveaways for participation in activities such as car seats, strollers, gifts for new big brothers or sisters, and other prizes.
Please register for your gift bag here:
