Diapers are Essential

Every baby deserves to be clean, dry, and healthy. Yet nearly 1 in 2 American families struggles to afford enough diapers—a basic need that no federal assistance program currently covers.

That’s where we come in.

Since 2017, Babies Need Bottoms has partnered with community-based organizations across Western North Carolina to provide diapers and essential supplies to families experiencing diaper need.

When Hurricane Helene struck in September 2024, our region was hit hard. We mobilized immediately—distributing diapers, wipes, and infant formula to families in crisis. In the first month alone, we increased our diaper distribution by over 300%, ensuring that babies had what they needed during one of the most difficult times our community has faced.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from across the country. The strength and generosity of our community are powerful—and together, we’re making a lasting impact on the lives of families in WNC.

💛 With your continued support, we can keep showing up—through recovery and beyond.

DIAPERS CHANGE LIVES

Diaper access means physically healthier children, emotionally healthier caregivers, and a stronger community where more people have their basic needs met.

“The diapers provided by Babies Need Bottoms have continued to be a huge blessing. They have allowed us to meet unprecedented needs we have been seeing. The diapers help to alleviate the weight that many parents feel having to decide between food and/or diapers. It has been a small something with a BIG impact that has significantly helped many of our families make ends meet and provide for their families.”

This has been a lifesaver in a time where I am in desperate need of assistance when I don’t have the money to buy Pull-Ups. Thank you all that help me

One of our moms just moved into her own place. Move-in means money on application fees, background checks, security deposit, first month’s rent, utility deposits, furniture and cleaning supplies. Being able to free some money from her budget by accessing diapers made it easier to pay for what she needed so she and her baby could really make this apartment their first home.

I greatly appreciate having somewhere to go for help for my grandkids that I have care of.  I wish there had been things like this when I had my kids.

Babies for Bottoms is a lifesaver.  I am a single mother who works a full time job, and goes to school.  I am raising a 9 and 2 year old and sometimes the money has to be stretched really far. I was down to 1 diaper and after searching under every rock I found babies for bottoms, and they were right there to help. They even made it possible for me to get diapers immediately.

Thank You to every one on the Babies for bottoms team. My children, and I are truly appreciative of your help.
