The Maternal & Infant Health Resource Fair and Networking Event is set for Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Wheaton Woods Elementary School, located at 4510 Faroe Pl, Rockville, MD 20853. Best of all? Admission is completely free.
Who Is This For?
Whether you’re pregnant, parenting a little one, or a working professional in the maternal and infant health space, this event was designed with you in mind. Coaching Salud Holística has built its work around the belief that every family deserves access to support, and this fair is a direct reflection of that commitment. It’s a space where community members and service providers can meet, connect, and learn from one another.
What to Expect
The afternoon promises a lot more than a standard resource fair. Attendees can look forward to:
- 🏆 Raffle giveaways — with chances to win throughout the event
- 👶 Baby essentials — practical items for families who need them most
- 🤝 Networking opportunities — meet local programs, organizations, and professionals who serve your community
- 🎵 Live music — setting a festive, welcoming atmosphere for the whole family
The combination of tangible resources, meaningful connections, and a celebratory community vibe makes this more than just an informational event — it’s a gathering rooted in care.
A Community That Shows Up
Coaching Salud Holística was founded on the idea that doulas and community health workers are bridges — connecting people to the programs, support systems, and resources that often go undiscovered. This resource fair is that philosophy in action: a space built by the community, for the community.
Events like this one are rare in their intentionality. There are no barriers to entry, no sales pitches — just genuine support for families navigating one of life’s most meaningful seasons.
