Help a Mother Out partners with organizations throughout California to bring diapers to high need families. They essentially match up donators with donees (is that a word?) to provide diapers to families and young mothers in need. They also partner with diaper banks around the nation. Since May 2009, they have collected over 156,900 diapers for families in need! SO INCREDIBLE!
Most of the families they help are not in a position to use cloth, but we recently saw a tweet from them mentioning one of their partnering organizations had a need for cloth diapers and we were so blessed to be able to participate by sending them 20 Econobum Full Kits (a retail value of $999).
We are excited about their mission and were so humbled to join with them. Check out the work they are doing here.

An organization with a similar mission, focused on providing cloth diapers to families who are not able to afford them, is The Cloth Diaper Foundation. To learn about this organization, click here.

A very worthy cause. Thanks Cotton Babies for helping out. We were fortunate enough to be able to cloth diaper, but after talking with our local diaper bank I know that this really isn’t an option for their clients.
