ASHLAND — The Ashland Pregnancy Care Center will host its fifth annual Blessing Bag Outreach event on Friday, May 10, in collaboration with the Gideons International Ashland Camp.

Families expecting a baby can receive a “blessing bag” filled with diapers, wipes, prayer blankets, personal hygiene items, and more.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of First United Methodist Church, located at 220 Sandusky St.

The women’s auxiliary with Gideons International will be on hand to offer Bibles and prayers for each mother who drives by.

Free baby food and formula will also be distributed.

The Blessing Bag Outreach event was first held in May 2020 to provide much-needed supplies to families in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ashland Pregnancy Care Center’s team saw firsthand how much help was needed, which inspired the event to create a positive impact in the lives of expecting mothers.
