Thank you for donating!
Please keep our non-profit partners in mind, as they continue to serve and support our County moms and babies through this difficult time. We anticipate a greater demand for baby care items, so if you would like to donate outside of the event or host your own Shower of Love, our Amazon Wishlist and Target Registry will remain active. All wishlist purchases will be delivered to the Shower of Love office and distributed to our 7 partners. Due to the effects of COVID, we have elected to end the county-wide drive, but we continue to welcome individual donations and community donation drives.
100% of proceeds goes to babies in
St. Charles County.
Your donation supports moms like Alyssa, a teen mom working to complete her high school diploma, and Maria, a mother of three living in a long-term housing program while she rebuilds her life after being homeless. Diapers, wipes, and formula provide tangible support while our nonprofit partners provide support services each family needs.
Shower of Love is a community-wide collection drive for diapers, formula, and baby care items for non-profits serving families and babies in St. Charles. All donations are distributed to local families in need of baby items through our nonprofit service partners.

History
Shower of Love began in 2006 as a collection drive for diapers, wipes, and other baby care items. Donations are distributed to local non-profits serving pregnant women, babies, and fragile families in crisis residing in St. Charles County and Lincoln County, Missouri.
Churches, businesses, civic groups, schools, and other community members unite in "showering" babies with love. With the support of our partners, Shower of Love helps reduce the risk of child abuse and eases financial strain on parents.
Shower of Love is a collaborative effort between the Community & Children's Resource Board of St. Charles County (CCRB) and the benefiting agencies. Each partner receives an equal share of donations to use for clients in the County.
Since 2006, Shower of Love has collected $1,065,000
in donations for St. Charles County babies and parents!
