BOLIVIA, N.C., March 11, 2024 – To help new mothers and their babies, Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center is joining several local nonprofits to host a free community baby shower on Saturday, May 4. It will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the parking lot at 240 Hospital Drive. Novant Health will distribute clothing, diapers, toys, toiletries and more to mothers in need, and will provide information on breastfeeding and car seat safety checks.
