Message from the Executive Director Sharon Lyles
There was one day in my life when I had only one diaper and the adhesive strip would not stick. I had no idea where I would get another diaper from.
Little things impact big things. For example, a mother without an adequate supply of clean diapers for her baby cannot send her child to daycare, and as a result cannot go to work to earn the paycheck she needs to remain self-sufficient. I get to witness the importance of what we do in my day-to-day work by helping to collect diaper donations and other baby essentials. I’m fortunate enough to see the process of the diaper collection and diaper distribution so I can visualize the small things adding up
