Teen pregnancy can be difficult under any circumstances, but it can be even more difficult in the foster care system without the support of relatives. On Saturday, Nov. 8 at Coastline Bible Church; Foster VC Kids and I Provide, in partnership with James Storehouse, will sponsor a baby shower for eight pregnant foster teens in Ventura County.

I Provide is a nonprofit organization that supports foster youth by providing pregnant teens with the goods and resources needed to care for their babies and empowering them to become independent providers.

The shower will collect gently used and new items including gift cards, cribs, stroller, car seats, diapers, diaper bags, bottles and infant clothing. All donations are tax deductible.
