ICAN names Kimberly Hellmuth as February 2015 Volunteer of the Month

As Co-Leader for our chapter, it is with the deepest appreciation that I say Congratulations to our Chapter Leader, Kimberly Hellmuth, for being named ICAN's February 2015 Volunteer of the Month!

A well deserved honor, Kimberly has brought this chapter to where it is today.  It is through her efforts that we are gaining ground in helping women find ICAN chapters for support and education.  It is through her kind words that women find the affirmations, facts, statistics, and information they are seeking for their births.  It is my great pleasure to stand beside her in awe of all that she gives to our chapter, ICAN International, and to women.

Thank you, Kimberly, for being our Chapter Leader and bringing so much to women and babies.

January Meeting - Chick Fil A in Orange Park

It was a very cold day on January 28th when we decided to change from our familiar park playdate to the indoor playground at Chick Fil A.  Though ICAN is in no way affiliated with CFA, we were treated with so much hospitality.

Our moms sat together and shared experiences, hopes, sadness, fears, validations, encouragements, and love.  Birth stories were shared all around, while some nodded, others added to them, the space was held for the experience to unfold.


Thank you to our moms who braved the cold, braved showing up to a meeting, and braved being yourselves <3  It's through you that our community grows stronger!


Come join us at our next meeting on February 25th, 2015 at 10:30am at Pickwick Park in Jacksonville, Florida!  You can find details here.
