Diaper drives

🎃 The spooky truth? What's keeping parents up at night usually isn't under the bed. It's figuring out how to make the budget stretch until payday. It's covering groceries, child care, and household essentials when there's little room for the unexpected. Those worries aren't part of Halloween. They're everyday realities for many families. Families experiencing diaper insecurity are more likely to struggle with affording food, paying bills, and navigating child care challenges. Through our network of partner agencies, Helping Mamas helps provide diapers, period products, and other essentials that help families weather life's scary moments. 🩷

A diaper pack has quite the journey. It starts in a donor’s cart, lands at our warehouse, gets picked out by a partner agency, and ends up in the hands of a mama who needed it today. No detour, no middleman, just a very well-traveled box of diapers. 🩷 Link in bio to donate.

Today is the day! Diaper Day is happening right now in Norcross, and we’d love to see you there. From 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Helping Mamas Atlanta and Four Corners Primary Care Centers are offering free diapers, resources, and community at 5300 Oakbrook Parkway, Building 100, Suite 130. Diapers are available while supplies last

Diaper Day is coming to Norcross, Georgia, and we are so excited to be part of it! On Friday, October 23 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Helping Mamas Atlanta is teaming up with Four Corners Primary Care Centers at 5300 Oakbrook Parkway, Building 100, Suite 130 in Norcross for a day of free diapers, resources, and community for local families. While supplies last.

@fpcmarietta is doing incredible work through Pantry on Church, their weekly food distribution serving around 300 families each week. We just delivered essentials to serve 350 individuals: 3,000 period products and 17,500 diapers. Families experiencing food insecurity often face an impossible choice: spend money on food or spend it on diapers. Research shows families with diaper insecurity are nearly four times more likely to experience food insecurity. When First Presbyterian can offer both food and essentials in one place, they're removing that impossible choice. They're meeting families where they are and giving them what they actually need to survive. Thank you, First Presbyterian!

September was full of purpose at Helping Mamas Atlanta, and we have incredible volunteers to thank. Thank you to Direct TV for showing up and showing out. To Grady Memorial Hospital for your commitment to our mission. To our Second Saturday volunteers who give reliably, month after month. To Sisterhood Circle of Service, Iglesia de Georgia, and Roswell Care Service League for your partnership. And to every individual who walked through our warehouse doors and got to work. You made September possible. You made diaper access possible for families in Atlanta. We're grateful. 💗

Thank you to @dentaltlc for your donation of hygiene items and diapers. To @jlatlanta for stepping up for our community. To @sageofficial for the beautifully decorated and assembled period kits. To @sisterhoodcircleofservice for your donation of diapers. To @rotaryclubofsugarloaf for your commitment to diaper access. And to Healthy Smiles of Lawrenceville for the dental hygiene items that will be incorporated into our hygiene kits. Each donation represents families who will have access to essentials they deserve. Each organization represents what partnership looks like. We're grateful. 💗

175 million. That is the number of diapers Georgia families with young children are going without every single year. Not nationally. Not globally. Right here in Georgia. 175 million times a baby needed a clean diaper and a family could not provide one. That number is staggering and it is the exact reason Helping Mamas exists. We cannot close a 175 million diaper gap alone but we can make a dent and we need your help to do it. This Diaper Need Awareness Week donate diapers, shop our wishlist, or give monetarily so we can keep working toward a Georgia where no baby goes without. All of September, we are running our 2026 Team Challenge event where businesses, community groups and corporate teams are competiting for good to collect the most diapers. You can choose a team to support this week! Let's close the gap: https://f.mtr.cool/3gn7wu581b

Let this one sink in. 78% of households experiencing diaper insecurity had at least one employed adult in the past year. Diaper need does not stop when a parent goes to work. It does not stop when someone is doing everything right. It does not care about effort or intention. It shows up anyway, in families where parents are clocking in every single day and still cannot make ends meet when it comes to the basics their baby needs. This is not a story about people who are not trying. This is a story about a gap that exists regardless of how hard you work. And it is a gap we can help close together. This Diaper Need Awareness Week we are calling on YOU to donate diapers, shop our wishlist, or give monetarily as part of our Team Challenge movement. Select your favorite team OR donate to our general fund to help combat diaper insecurity. Let's Fight Diaper Need Together: https://f.mtr.cool/fuxivfgk93

$4.5 billion. That is the estimated annual cost of diaper insecurity to U.S. society through increased healthcare spending and lost wages. 🩷 Here is what that actually means: When families cannot afford enough diapers, babies sit in dirty diapers longer, leading to rashes, infections, and more doctor visits. Parents miss work because most daycares require a fresh supply of diapers and will turn children away without them. Lost wages. Higher medical bills. A cycle that is incredibly hard to break. Diaper insecurity is not just a personal struggle. It is a community wide issue with a community wide cost. And the good news is that this community can work towards fighting it. We are currently in the middle of our 2026 Team Challenge, where during the month of September teams are competing for good to help fight diaper insecurity. This week for Diaper Need Awareness Week we are asking you to help support this mission by donating to our general fund OR select your favorite team to support. Every action moves us closer to a future where no family has to choose between diapers and dinner. Support our mission here: https://f.mtr.cool/9ntajnmy36

That’s a wrap on the 4th Annual Witches Ride! ✨🧙‍ Last Sunday, October 25th, more than 300 witches (aka the moms of Brookhaven 🖤) took to the streets in 60+ fully themed golf carts, tossing candy Mardi Gras–style to every little goblin and ghoul who lined the route. 🍬🎃 The creativity this year was next level. We had Dolly Partons, pirates, Tic Tacs, Toy Story, astronauts blasting off, and so much more. Every cart brought the magic! 🚀🏴‍☠️🤠 And the best part? Together they raised $12,245 for Helping Mamas! Every dollar helps get essential baby items to moms and families in our community who need them. A huge thank you to Tess Marks for leading this coven for the fourth year running, and to every witch who dressed up, decorated, drove, and donated. And thank you to the Brookhaven community for coming out to cheer on the witches, support Helping Mamas, and join in a little Halloween fun! 🧹 See you next year, witches! 🔮 #WitchesRide #BrookhavenGA #HelpingMamas #MomsOfBrookhaven #HalloweenParade #golfcartparade

Your child's outgrown clothes have a whole second chapter ahead of them. 🤍 All clothing donations come in, get sorted by our incredible volunteers by size and season, and get packaged into bags just like these. Each bag includes jammies and outfits with a full week's worth of clothing because not every family has access to a washer and dryer. We ask that all donations be in great condition with no holes or stains so every child receives something they can feel good in. That matters to us.

A new address, the same community showing up for families in need. Helping Mamas Atlanta has moved warehouses and we're ready to receive donations at our new warehouse starting today. Swing by Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

Donation drop-offs are back open at our new Atlanta warehouse, and we've got five convenient locations across the area.

We do not do galas. We do Team Challenge. 🩷 And this year, our community showed us exactly why this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. From the teams who competed to the donors who cheered them on, the support we felt throughout this campaign was something we will not forget. Thank you to every team, every donor, and every person who shared a link or dropped off a donation. You made this year’s Team Challenge a success we are still celebrating. We are already looking forward to making next year even bigger.

What a special day between the hedges! ❤️🖤 Helping Mamas was honored to join the Kirby Smart Family Foundation at Sanford Stadium for its annual giving day and to be surrounded by so many incredible organizations working to strengthen communities across Georgia. We are incredibly grateful to receive a $10,000 Red Zone Award from the Foundation! This generous support will help Helping Mamas provide car seats and pack-n-plays to families who need safe options for their babies to sleep and travel. In 2026 alone, the Kirby Smart Family Foundation awarded more than $300,000 to nonprofits across Georgia. We are so thankful to Kirby and Mary Beth Smart and the entire Foundation for investing in organizations serving children and families throughout our state. And an extra highlight of the day was getting to celebrate alongside our friends at the Athens Area Diaper Bank, another grant recipient. We love seeing diaper need recognized and supported across Georgia! Thank you, Kirby Smart Family Foundation, for being champions for Georgia families—and for supporting Helping Mamas as we work to ensure more babies have the essentials they need to be safe and healthy. ❤️ #HelpingMamas #KirbySmartFamilyFoundation #GoDawgs #GeorgiaBulldogs #SafeSleep

Every baby deserves to be clean, dry, and healthy — yet 1 in 2 families in Georgia can’t afford enough diapers. This September, join our Annual Team Challenge and rally your coworkers, friends, or community group to help change that. When you form a team, you’re not just collecting diapers — you’re giving parents peace of mind, easing impossible choices, and helping children thrive. Our CEO, Jamie Lackey, is calling on YOU to step up. The need is rising, and our shelves are running low. But together, we can fill the warehouse and meet the growing need for thousands of families. 📅 Sign up now to lead your team into action. The challenge starts September 1. 👉🏻Sign Up Here: https://f.mtr.cool/pdrunfy7kd

@baby2baby, we are absolutely blown away. 🩷 Their recent donation to Helping Mamas Atlanta included 115,000 diapers, 600 packs of wipes, 1,780 feeding supplies, 450 health and hygiene items, 192 toys, 144 bags, 10 car seats, and 10 strollers. That is over $52,000 worth of essentials headed directly to families in our community. Donations like this one change lives and we are so deeply grateful for Baby2Baby's continued generosity and belief in our mission. Thank you Baby2Baby Atlanta families are better because of you. 🩷

This is what community support makes possible. 🩷 Because of the incredible generosity of our donors and volunteers, Helping Mamas Atlanta had the surplus to invite partner agencies like Fulton County WIC to come to our warehouse and stock up ahead of the fall and winter season. When our shelves are full, our partners can serve their clients with confidence, trust, and zero hesitation. That is the ripple effect of every diaper donated, every dollar given, and every hour volunteered. Thank you for making moments like this one possible.

We were honored to welcome State Senator Adrienne White Carden to Helping Mamas Atlanta this month. Senator White Carden is visiting nonprofits across her district to understand how policy impacts families on the ground. When she walked through our warehouse, she saw firsthand how diaper insecurity affects real families here in Atlanta. These conversations matter. Elected leaders who take time to understand community needs are the ones who can help drive real change. We're grateful for Senator White Carden's commitment to listening. 💗
