☀️ Summer Perinatal Resource in Manitowoc County

Summer is a great time to focus on simple, nourishing choices for you and your family—and local farmers markets make that a little easier.

🥕 The Manitowoc Farmers Market has fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies that can support:
• a healthy pregnancy
• postpartum recovery
• breastfeeding
• overall family nutrition

We also cover nutrition in our Earn While You Learn program—things like:
• what “eating for two” really means
• postpartum nutrition basics
• toddler nutrition tips

If you’d like to learn more, we’d love to have you schedule an EWYL visit with us.

Fresh air, fresh food, and small steps—that’s what summer wellness can look like 💛

Parenting Has Changed in the Last 20 Years. Support Still Matters Today.

Fatherhood today often includes a stronger focus on connection, communication, and emotional presence.

We support dads in building those meaningful relationships that shape a child’s confidence and security.

⚠️ Birth plans aren't for when everything goes according to plan.

They're for when it doesn't.

The real value of a birth plan isn't controlling every aspect of labor and delivery—it's thinking through your options ahead of time and communicating what's most important to you.

A birth plan can help guide conversations about pain management, labor support, newborn care, and other decisions that may arise during your birth experience.

If you haven't created a birth plan yet, consider making an appointment with Rochelle, our Perinatal Navigator. She can help you explore your options, discuss your preferences, and create a birth plan that feels right for you and your family.

Over the past 20 years, parenting has evolved in many ways. Expectations are higher. Support systems look different. But one thing remains true:
children thrive when families are supported.

Many fathers today are more involved in daily parenting moments—showing up not just as providers, but as active caregivers.

At The Crossing, we encourage dads to stay engaged and confident in their role every step of the way.

💜 High-Risk Pregnancy Awareness Week

Sometimes pregnancy brings more questions than answers.

If you're facing complications, an unexpected diagnosis, or simply feeling overwhelmed by what's ahead, know that you don't have to walk through it alone.

One of the things we value most at The Crossing Medical Clinic is being present during life's uncertain moments. We're here to listen, support, and care for you as you navigate your unique pregnancy journey.

This week, we're holding space for every woman and family facing a high-risk pregnancy. You're not alone. 💜

What an incredible example of community in action! 💙

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Leadership Manitowoc group for choosing The Crossing as your community project and coordinating a donation drive benefiting the families we serve.

This amazing team created promotional materials, organized collection efforts, and secured 12 different drop-off locations throughout the community. Because of the overwhelming generosity of our community, they had to make multiple trips to collect all the donations!

Together, the drive collected:

🧷 1,102 diapers
🧻 46 packages of wipes
🍼 Baby essentials, clothing, toys, books, hygiene products, and household supplies
👶 Plus a Baby Brezza Pro Bottle Washer and so much more!

In total, nearly $3,900 worth of items were donated to help support local children and families.

We are so grateful for the time, energy, leadership, and heart this group poured into this project. Every diaper, wipe, outfit, and item donated helps us continue offering life-affirming support to families, building connections, and equipping every parent to raise children in a healthy, loving home.

Thank you, Leadership Manitowoc, and thank you to every individual and business who donated and hosted collection sites. Your generosity will make a real difference for families in our community. 💙 The Chamber of Manitowoc County

MOTHERHOOD THEN & NOW
There is more understanding today about how early relationships shape a child’s future. Many moms are parenting with greater awareness and intention than ever before.

Over the past 20 years, motherhood has changed in many ways- it has become more complex. Expectations are higher, support systems look different, and moms are navigating more than ever before.

One thing hasn’t: families still need support, connection, and encouragement. That’s where The Crossing comes in. For 20 years, we’ve come alongside moms with tools and support to help them build strong, healthy families.
