Diapers are so expensive. Whenever you throw one out, you think “That’s my money in the trash can”. Instead, thanks to the Help a Mother Out diaper program, I can put that diaper money towards food and rent. It makes a huge difference. ~ Diane, Bay Area mother of 3

Times are tough right now, and we need your help to continue our work.

Increased need and economic uncertainty have driven demand, and yet our program costs have only continued to rise. In the last three years, the retail price of diapers has risen roughly 48% and our costs have risen by 22%. Additionally, we have been very fortunate to have received government funding, but our anticipated FY24 plans recently fell through. All of this has created a perfect storm that has left us with a budget shortfall, resulting in a situation in which we will not be able to operate at our existing capacity without the help from community members like you.

We have the special sauce.

Despite the challenges we are facing right now, we are really good at what we do - getting diapers to the families who need them the most. Over our last fiscal year, we distributed over 13 million diapers, putting $5.2 million back into the hands of the communities we serve. For every $1 we spend on programming, we save local families $2 - that’s impactful!

The only reason we could help our community in this way is because we have been able to say “YES!”. Yes to the county health office offering support to new parents; yes to the public library throwing a community baby shower; yes to the domestic violence shelter giving hope to mothers and babies. We are in the business of saying YES, but due to the current shortfall, we have started saying “no,” and it breaks our hearts.

Let's say yes, together.

We need to start saying YES again so that we can continue to do what we do best - provide our community with the diapers they need to keep their babies healthy and give them access to childcare programs. We have set the ambitious goal of raising $250,000 by the end of 2023, and we cannot do it without your support.

"Our partnership with HAMO has been incredible. We have been able to provide monthly diapers to our low-income families, who have then been able to use that extra money to cover other household expenses. With the suspension of the diaper program, we are very worried. Diapers are SO expensive, and we don’t have a plan B." ~ Community Partner
