The baby shower is conducted by the American Red Cross in conjunction with SAF, and is for 75 military members of enlisted ranks E-1 to E-5 (Active, Guard, Reserve); military spouses; or women veterans receiving care through the St. Louis VA Medical Center. These women fall below the median income in the region. AMH extends thanks to all the employees who donated.
