Missouri Slope United Way hosts community baby shower for nominated family
A nominated expecting mother was at the center of MSA United Way’s third annual Community Baby Shower, paired with a June diapers-and-wipes drive.
Missouri Slope Areawide United Way centered its June 24 Community Baby Shower on a local expecting community member nominated by someone in the community, turning the event into a direct act of celebrate and support. The shower was listed on the organization’s 2026 calendar and framed as a way to provide essential baby items, encouragement and community support to one family with a very real set of needs.
The event was part of Day of Action programming and marked the third annual Community Baby Shower led by Women United. MSA United Way said the shower was designed to help at-risk mothers with essential baby items, a goal that lines up with the group’s broader description of its work as a local, volunteer-driven charitable organization mobilizing people and resources to meet community needs. A local 2023 profile of the group said the June shower is meant for at-risk mothers who need diapers, wipes and supplies, which matches the practical focus of this year’s effort.
That practical focus was reinforced by a separate Diapers & Wipes Drive that ran from June 2 to June 16, 2026. Taken together, the drive and the shower created a simple path for donors: give the basics first, then help furnish the pieces a newborn family needs most. MSA United Way also invited community members to participate through sponsorship opportunities, donations and an RSVP tied to a baby shower registry, making it easier for supporters to contribute without having to design the event themselves.
The organization’s RSVP form listed its Bismarck office at 515 N 4th St, Bismarck, ND 58501, and provided the number 701.255.3601. Joan Trygg was identified as the Women United Community Baby Shower chair, giving the event a named local lead as it tied a single nomination to a broader network of infant support across Bismarck-Mandan.
