Summer E-News: 750,000 Diapers Distributed, Record Huggies Donation, Diaper Need Awareness Week Coming!!

Dear Friends,   

Families are facing extraordinary circumstances. With the ongoing impact of COVID-19, lack of sufficient childcare options, a nationwide formula shortage, inflation and the rising costs of goods - meeting basic needs is more expensive, and more difficult than ever.   

Since 2017, Babies Need Bottoms has distributed over 750,000 diapers to make a difference for local families.

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. Through the support of donors, volunteers and community partners - we're helping meet basic needs for over 1,300 babies and young children every month.

Want to help?  We need you!  Submit a Volunteer Inquiry today to get started, or email us at info@babiesneedbottoms.org.

We especially need volunteers who can help us by:

  • Wrapping diaper bundles (either pick up supplies and do it from home, or work with us in the warehouse!)
  • Transporting diapers between our two warehouse locations
  • Committing to monthly diaper order packing
  • Committing to monthly community donation box pick-ups at Lollipops Ltd and The Littlest Birds 

With gratitude,

Alicia & Meagan 
Co-Executive Directors

As a member of the National Diaper Bank Network, Babies Need Bottoms recently received a record donation of over 230,000 diapers from Huggies!  
We are so grateful for everyone who made this donation possible, especially Huggies, the National Diaper Bank Network, Dogwood Health Trust, College Hunks Hauling and Moving Junk, RBI Commercial Properties, and our amazing volunteers!

WNC Diaper Need Updates:

Meeting basic needs and managing the rising cost of living continues to be extraordinarily tough for families. With the continued increase in cost of goods, continued elevated gas prices, ongoing formula shortage, and increasing cases of COVID, we are hearing from our partners that families continue to need a lot of assistance. 

In June 2022, we hit a record distribution of 36,166 diapers!

Partners continue to share gratitude from families who receive diaper assistance. Recently, we've heard: 
 
“Every week we have clients who are so thankful and express they did not know what they were going to do to get some diapers.”
 
“We have parents with multiple children in our program and they have expressed how grateful they are not to have to worry about providing their children diapers when they are at school. They have even cried in relief when we told them they did not have to bring them."

Prior to 2020, we distributed an average of 30,000 diapers annually.  Now, we distribute over 30,000 diapers every month.  You can help us sustain this growth by becoming a monthly donor, hosting a diaper supply drive, or volunteering with us!
National Diaper Need Awareness Week is coming soon! Here's how you can help make a difference for local families in 2022:
