Mission
Help a Mother Out® works to improve baby and family well being by increasing access to diapers for families in need.
A family’s access to a reliable supply of clean diapers reduces the risk of infectious disease outbreaks, improves baby’s health and comfort, and enables baby’s participation in early care and education programs. Our vision is a day when every baby has a healthy supply of diapers.

My family delivers diapers to a homeless shelter. Then I spotted Help a Mother Out in The Giving List. HAMO is doing it at scale across the Bay Area – what a find! Now I’m on the Board, and so proud of our impact. Businesses aren’t the only ones who can scale.
A Solvable Problem
A dollar a day keeps a baby in clean diapers, and every dollar spent on diaper access returns two in health care savings. No federal program will spend it. Donors do.
• $1,000 – Funds a month of clean diapers for 30 babies
• $5,000 – Restocks a partner agency’s emergency diaper pantry
• $10,000 – Sends 60,000 diapers to Bay Area families through clinics and pantries they already visit
• $50,000 – Stocks a big rig’s worth of diapers for partners
