All applications must be completed in full prior to being given assistance or considered for any of our events.  These dates apply for our Annual Baby Showers.  Showers are added to our schedule regularly based on need.

 


**Please continue to register for our showers even if the due date for paperwork has past.  Submitting an application for assistance, does not guarantee you will be selected to participate in our Annual Showers.  Families are selected to participate based on the following:
  1. Due Date
  2. Date Completed Application for Assistance Received
  3. Information provided in the "Tell us about your family" section
  4. Rank
  Please contact us with any questions you may have.

***We encourage any expecting military moms to register as early as possible for our showers***

Baby Assistance Application

Our Application Process:

Once our families have applied for our showers, they will receive a telephone interview by one of our volunteers, once all paperwork has been completed and received by our office. 

All clients must provide the following documents for verification and registration of our program:

  • Valid Military Id for expecting mom
  • Current LES for Service Member
  • Proof of Pregnancy in the form of a letter from your doctor only
  • Sign and return application
  • Be an enlisted Active Duty/Active Reserve E1-E7 personnel or spouse

 

 **Please note: you must still be ACTIVE DUTY within the Armed Forces to qualify for assistance with our programs at the time of the shower or when assistance is given**

For further assistance, please contact our Expecting Mom Coordinator, Karmen Hernandez at 866-977-OSOA ext 82.

Unit Assistance

For this program items are donated directly to a specific command to be given to the families within their command.  There are no rank limits for this program.  It will be up to the command to decide which families receive this assistance.  OSOA has committed to donate up to 15 items per requesting command.  This request should come from the Family Readiness Officer (FRO) or someone within your command that is an E7 or higher.  The Unit Assistance request form will need to be completed in full prior to receiving items and each command can receive assistance once per fiscal year.  

If you have families that would be able to attend a shower that has not yet occurred, we encourage them to complete the registration for our regular showers. 

If you are interested in a unit shower, please contact Kimberly Felshaw at Kimberly@OperationShowersofAppreciation.org for more information.  You can also register your event by completing the form below.
