Families in Hunterdon County will once again gather this fall for one of the most meaningful community events of the year. The annual Postpartum Resource Fair will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at J.P. Case Middle School, 301 Case Blvd. in Flemington, bringing together local parents, providers, and supporters for an afternoon of connection, education, and family fun.
The Resource Fair is organized by Postpartum Wellness of Hunterdon County and is free to attend. It serves as a bridge between new and expectant mothers and the many professional resources available in the region. Attendees can meet local doulas, pelvic floor specialists, lactation consultants, mental health therapists, and sleep consultants, all of whom are dedicated to supporting families through the postpartum journey.
While parents explore valuable resources, children can enjoy activities designed just for them, including crafts, face painting, ice cream, and even fairy hair styling. Door prizes and silent auction items will also be featured throughout the event, adding to the festive and supportive atmosphere.
Last year’s event raised more than $15,000 in support of maternal mental health programs in Hunterdon County, with over $10,000 of that total coming directly from the Resource Fair itself. This year, organizers have set a new goal of raising $20,000, funds that will go right back into the local community. All proceeds help provide therapy grants, postpartum doula services, physical therapy, and other essential supports for mothers in need.
Sponsorship opportunities for local businesses and organizations remain a vital part of the Fair’s success. Contributions range from Bronze-level support at $50 to Diamond-level sponsorships of $1,000. Sponsors receive visibility through advertising, event signage, social media spotlights, and inclusion in attendee goody bags. Many also donate gift baskets, services, or food and beverages to enhance the fair. Organizers emphasize that every sponsorship dollar goes directly toward assisting Hunterdon County families navigating the challenges of postpartum life.
Beyond its role as a fundraiser, the Postpartum Resource Fair has become an important community gathering. It celebrates families, encourages conversations about maternal wellness, and provides access to information on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, an area of health that still carries stigma and is often overlooked. By bringing parents and providers together in a welcoming environment, the event highlights the importance of building supportive networks that continue long after the fair ends.
Events like this reflect New Jersey’s growing commitment to maternal health and family wellness. They also showcase how local communities can work together to create lasting change through education, compassion, and resources.

The Postpartum Resource Fair stands as a reminder that when a community invests in mothers, it invests in stronger, healthier families. With this year’s event poised to bring in record support, the impact will be felt across Hunterdon County long after the final raffle ticket is drawn.
