At MomsRising, we know moms are changing more than diapers everyday—and sometimes that includes making sure all moms have access to diapers!
That’s why I couldn’t resist the opportunity to tell you about Heather, a local Pittsburgh “Mom in Action” and blogger of Diary of a First Time Mom, who has helped organize the Burgh Baby Diaper Drive (February 1-28) as a way to give back to Pittsburgh’s smallest residents.
Sign up to get involved with the Burgh Baby Diaper Drive and support this super mom’s great work.
You can help address diaper need in Pittsburgh!
There are Pittsburgh moms struggling to provide diapers for their babies. Each day, these moms are faced with the impossible decision to choose between diapers, which cost up to $100 per month per baby, and other essentials like food. And unfortunately, diapers cannot be purchased with WIC, food stamps, or other forms of government assistance. The inability to access diapers can force moms to keep their children in soiled diapers (exposing them to health risks) and can prevent them from enrolling their babies in daycare.
With 1 in 3 families in America struggling to afford diapers for their children, diaper banks can make all the difference for a family.
Let's support local moms and get behind this effort.
