Healthy Babies Coalition of Burlington hosts virtual baby shower for families in need

BURLINGTON, N.C. — The Healthy Babies Coalition of Burlington announced they are hosting a Virtual Community Baby Shower, Monday.

The coalition made the announcement via the City of Burlington's Facebook page.

The city said the Alamance County Health Department identified a need for families in Burlington with young children.

According to the post, the virtual baby shower was created in order to help assist families with diapers and baby wipes, both which can't be purchased through SNAP or WIC benefits.

Even if you're not a senior, these exercise videos (tai chi, yoga, s... tretching, etc) collected by the staff at the Kernodle Senior Center are a great way to keep your body moving and limber while you stay home. When testing and tracking capacity is ramped up to a point where re-opening is possible, you'll be ready to go!

According to the city's Facebook page the virtual community baby shower is an ongoing event lasting until June 6.

And an Amazon wish list has been created with items in high need by members of the community. 

The city said any items purchased from the wish list will directly ship to the CityGate Dream Center where staff and volunteers will coordinate and distribute the donated items.

Items on the wish list include ones such as:

  • Huggies snug and dry baby diapers, size 5, 156 count
  • Seventh Generation baby diapers sensitive protection, size 6, 46 count
  • Pampers Swaddlers disposable baby diapers, size 4, 150 count
  • Baby bottles
  • Baby food

    • You can find the fully detailed list here.

    "Please purchase from this wish list and all items will be delivered to Dream Center of Alamance County and given directly to families who need our support," read a statement from the wish list's site. "We have selected some items you could purchase but feel free to choose whichever brands and quantities you would like."

    Anyone who may know a family that could benefit from the program and wishes to refer them may do so by directly messaging the "CityGate Dream Center" on their Facebook page.

    A Brief History of the Codpiece the Personal Protection for Renaissance Equipment

    Gambar
    Early in the eighteenth century, visitors to the Tower of London could gaze upon a painted wooden statue of Henry VIII, the English king who'd died some two hundred years before. Royally robed, sceptre in hand, the likeness befitted Henry's reputation for extravagance, right down to its lascivious secret mechanism: "If you press a spot on the floor with your feet," one observer wrote, "you will see something surprising with regard to this figure, but I will not say more." I will: it was the king's codpiece, sallying forth in full regalia. Henry VIII remains the poster boy for codpieces, those profane protuberances that drew eyes crotchward in the sixteenth century. A suit of the king's armor, boasting a bulbous codpiece weighing more than two and a half pounds, is still on display at the Tower; women used to stick pins in its sumptuous red-velvet lining to ward off barrenness. And who could blame them? Sure, Henry sired notoriously few healthy childr

    Breaking News By Wire Services | March 19, 2020 at 10:44 a.m. By Mark Price | Charlotte Observer Add condoms to the list of things that might be harder to find as more Americans shelter in place amid the coronavirus outbreak. There may even be a "coronavirus baby boom," some experts say, proving not everyone is practicing social distancing. Hints of heightened interest in condoms first emerged last month in China, where the virus was first reported. Condomsales.com reported March 3 that stores were seeing "shortages in Singapore and Hong Kong." The e-commerce platform Pinduoduo noted quarantine measures in China fueled a jump in sales of condoms and hair clippers, according to abacusnews.com. One reason for the condom rush in Asia: Some people were wearing them on their fingers, after rumors spread on social media the practice could protect you from the
