From Jenn: Econobum Donation Update
December 9, 2010 6:00 am
After my Thanksgiving Day post about our holiday campaign to raise cloth diaper donations for needy families (read here: “Trim A Tree, Trim A Budget, Give Cloth Diapers”), we were pleased that many of you responded by purchasing Econobum products that we could donate to needy families on your behalf.
I wanted to give a report of what has been donated, by you, so far in December:
If you don’t already know a family that needs cloth diapers, you can now select to have Econobum product donated by Cotton Babies on your behalf to a needy family. We will be working with our local food banks, pregnancy clinics or shelters to provide education and ensure the diapers get in the hands of the right people. Every box of donated Econobum Full Kits could conservatively provide a family with an additional $10, $20 or even $30 in their weekly grocery budget. Trim a tree. Trim a budget. Buy diapers to give today.
I can’t wait to come back and give a great report of some families that were positively impacted by your giving. Thank you for participating in change that can have such an important impact on our country.
Kindest regards,
Jenn

I’d be really interested to hear how people are using and liking their donated diapers. A lot of times you don’t get follow up with donations.
How would someone apply for a diaper donation?
wonderful idea!! i will pass this on 🙂
This is such a sweet & unique way to relieve someone’s anxiety during the holiday season… And they get Econobums! (I love mine, my son is in one right now).
