Help a Mother Out

Help a Mother Out works to improve baby and family well being by increasing access to diapers for families in need. Our vision is a day when every baby has a healthy supply of diapers. We distribute diapers to families in need through a network of social service partners including Early Head Start programs, First 5 family resource centers, homeless and foster children services, public health departments and others. We also advocate for the inclusion of diapers in the social safety net.Diapers cost between $80 and $100 per month. That's $2,850 to diaper one child with regular changes until potty training–a huge expense for the over 5 million low-income families with young children living in the U.S. today.Public assistance programs like food stamps don't cover diapers. Diapers give mothers and babies a chance.
