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

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

 

Unit Assistance

For this program we will donate items directly to a specific command with up to 15 items to assist their families.  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 assist 5-15 families from each command per fiscal year.  If you have less than 5 expecting moms (active duty or spouses), please send them to our Baby Shower Page to register individually.

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.

Our Registration Process:

Once the command representative has registered their unit assistance form, we will contact them to arrange for items to be picked up.
