You Can Bring Hope + Healing To Moms Who Need It Most
This past year has been unthinkably difficult for us all, but especially for the families that Help a Mother Out ® serves. Moms and babies in need have been disproportionately impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, and since the pandemic began, we have seen demand for diapers surge exponentially. This trend shows no sign of slowing. HAMO distributed 7.8 million diapers in fiscal year 2020, and we have already distributed nearly 9 million diapers to the community in just the first six months of fiscal year 2021.
We Need Your Help
Covid cancelled our Annual Tea. While we will greatly miss the opportunity to come together with our community, our small but mighty organization is once again shifting our fundraising efforts online. We have set up this team campaign via MightyCause (a leading online donation platform), and your fundraiser will be a vital part of this community effort to keep California babies in clean diapers.
HAMO will provide a turnkey toolkit and template for you to join our online team, making it as easy as possible for you to engage like-minded friends, family and colleagues who want to make a positive impact during this challenging time. Will you sign up now to host a fundraiser supporting the broader HAMO effort?
Help a Mother Out® has provided over 26 million diapers since 2009.
Help a Mother Out® works to improve baby and family well being by increasing access to diapers for families in need. Our vision is a day when every baby has a healthy supply of diapers.
We distribute diapers to families in need through a network of social service partners including public health departments, family resource centers, voluntary home visiting programs and facilitated parent support groups. We also advocate for the inclusion of diapers in the social safety net.
Will You Join Us?
HAMO was started during the 2008 financial crisis, and we know the power of this grassroots community coming together during tough times. This past year has confirmed that we are in fact stronger together, and we ask you now to once again join us in helping to lift up local families in need.
Because Every Baby Deserves a Clean Diaper.® You can help.
Did you know that diapers aren't covered by public aid programs like WIC or food stamps? The pandemic has taken an extreme toll on so many safety net programs, diaper banks included. Check out this Washington Post article: Millions couldn’t afford diapers before the pandemic. Now, diaper banks can’t keep up.
