(Read More...)]]> Imagine not being able to afford to buy your baby clean diapers.  Imagine taking a diaper, dumping the contents in a toilet, and putting the diaper back on your baby.  Imagine leaving your baby in the same diaper all day long.  This is the reality of the 30% of children in Chicago that live below the poverty line.

 

This holiday season Bundle of Joy is committed to giving every baby in Chicago a happy and healthy start to the new year.  Last year during the holiday season we received enough generous donations for 100,000 diapers.  This year, we have set the ambitious goal of 150,000 diapers!  Keep in mind that Bundle of Joy does not keep an on-going inventory of diapers.  The one thing we’ve realized with our growing base of supporters that have provided us with an amazing supply of diapers, is that no matter how many diapers we have, there will always be a need for them!  The donations we receive are regularly used to supply our expanding network of agencies that support families, new moms, and teen moms.  They welcome every single diaper we can offer them.  Diapers are the #1 requested item at Chicago’s food banks and are not included in federal aid programs like food stamps (Link) or Women, Infants, Children (WIC).

 

Help us spread the joy this holiday season – make your donation today – organize a diaper drive in your community – ask for diapers at your holiday party instead of gifts – think of what a difference YOU can make in a child’s life!
