Spring E-News: Mother's Day Drive, Diaper Update, Special Invite!

Dear Friends,

As we approach Mother's Day, this Sunday May 8th, we are thinking about how ALL mothers deserve to be able to meet their children's basic needs.

We envision a community where no mother has to delay diaper changes, never has to use paper towels to clean her child, or can't afford rash cream to prevent or treat diaper rash.

What better way to celebrate a mother or mother figure in your life than to become a monthly donor?!  

A gift of $10 each month helps to cover one bottom with diapering supplies -  making a huge difference in the financial, practical and emotional life of a mother!

Become a sustaining donor today and celebrate the mothers in our community who are struggling to afford the basics for their children.

As you celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, aunts and friends in your life, thank you for supporting the mothers and caregivers in our community struggling with diaper need. 

With gratitude,

Alicia & Meagan 
Co-Executive Directors

WNC Diaper Need Updates:

Partners continue to share gratitude from families who receive diaper assistance. Recently, we've heard: 
 
"We have a new mom who was extremely worried about diapers and not being able to afford them. She is a young, single mom and has no support. The diapers have been a huge gift to her and she said it has meant everything to know she can take care of her baby."

Prior to 2020, we distributed an average of 30,000 diapers annually.  Now, we distribute 30,000 diapers nearly every month.

We now have partners in 7 WNC counties, and have distributed diapers in 11 counties over the past year. We are the only diaper bank serving the western region.

We continue to get requests from new agencies wanting to partner and receive diapers for the families they serve.  Just in 2022, we've added 6 organizations to our waitlist and are looking for funding to help us expand to meet their needs.

The only way this work is possible is through the support of donors and advocates, the volunteers working behind the scenes with us, and the amazing network of partner organizations that distribute our diapering supplies to the families they serve.  We invite you to contact us any time at info@babiesneedbottoms.org to learn more and get involved!
SPECIAL INVITATION: BNB Happy Hour Thursday May 26th from 5-8PM at Ginger's Revenge!

Join us as we gather as a community of volunteers, donors and partners to celebrate the work we are doing together and help raise awareness of diaper need in WNC. $1 of every full pour in the month of May will be donated to BNB so you can stop by anytime and have a drink to help end diaper need.

Ginger's Revenge is also donating the proceeds of their brewery tours to BNB and collecting supplies all month on site.  Thank you so much to the amazing team at Ginger's Revenge for their generosity and support again this year!
