Since June, I have been proud to be a part of a program – the Every Little Bottom program, through Huggies. The mission of this program is to share this simple fact – diaper need is a big issue in the United States. 1 in 3 families struggle to provide diapers for their babies.
One in three.
Right here in our healthy and prosperous U.S. of A.
In mid-November I helped run a diaper drive to benefit a local charity in Kitsap County… 2400 diapers were donated in ONE DAY. That many diapers can diaper a baby for 10 months!
Now we are in the season of giving, and in this season, we are hoping to get more diapers onto the bottoms of babies as we wrap up the end of 2010 through something we are calling the 12 Days of Diapers!
Today, I reach out to my online community… I shout across Puget Sound, down the West Coast and across the states. Please consider supporting one or BOTH of my diaper bank buddies!
- WestSide Baby (King County/Seattle area) – Amazon wish list here
- Bay Area Diaper Bank (Northern California) – Amazon wish list here
Make a diaper donation to either diaper bank, and one donating reader will win EITHER a $200 gift card to Amazon, a Mino HD 8GB FlipCam (a $230 value), or a Ready to Roll Cadence stroller by Aprica ($250 value). The winner gets to choose ONE of those prize choices!
How to give and enter (a.k.a., The Rules):
- Between today December 6th and December 17th, make a minimum online $25 donation to either diaper bank
listed above. - After you have donated, forward your emailed donation confirmation to me at jennyonthespot@gmail.com
- You can enter as many times as you want! Every minimum donation of $25 equals 1 entry. For example, if you donate $50, you’ll be entered twice!
- Please note — comments on this post will not be counted as entries. You must email me your donation confirmation to be entered. But if you DO donate, please leave a comment here to show your support for these great efforts to help families in need at the holidays!
- Open only to residents in the U.S. and Canada.
- Oh yeah! And Twibbons to use on your Facebook and Twitter avatars will be given out to those who donate!
Here is a special video message from Nancy Woodland, the Director of WestSide Baby:

Check out my visit to WestSide in October and see all that diaper banks do for families!
Alright folks. Let’s just boil this down. Of all the presents and candy we will be buying this holiday season… I just hope we’ll be thinking of the babies… thinking of the added financial burden families in need face this time of year… and realizing the joy and relief we can give by providing for a very real need. Babies win!
