MOM STARTS HERE

Our Baby Shop and Emergency Diaper Closet are possible because of generous donations from the community

Diapers are as essential to a baby's healthy development as a mother's love. Keeping infants and toddlers clean, dry, and healthy is key to building a solid foundation for all children to reach their full potential.

But one in three families struggles to provide clean diapers for their baby.

 

 

Children in low-income families are at greatest risk of suffering the effects of diaper need because many families can't afford diapers. Current public support programs help some, but young children have additional needs necessary to build a strong foundation for healthy growth and to reach their full potential.

Host a Diaper Drive

We are always looking to stock our Diaper Closet. We accept size newborn to size 6!
