Babies Day! We Need Diapers, Size 3 And 5. The Pantry Banks Won’t Send Any, The Baby Shelves Are Empty, Mothers Have Rough Choices

by Jon Katz

Today (and yesterday), Sarah asked for help with diapers in sizes 3 and 5 (see links below). This is the pain of poverty. The big food banks don’t send toiletries, the hunger-challenged can’t afford them, and the food pantries get very little funding to buy them – not nearly enough. This forces the family who turns to the food bank into a bind – they can’t find things that keep their children dry, safe, and clean, and if they buy them, they won’t have enough money left over for the food they need and want.

We are trying to help break this cycle and get healthy, urgently desired food on the shelves. We are helping to fill that void. Kids and mothers should not have to scramble for diaper money or trade diapers for food. I hope we can help. We need diaper sizes 3 and 5. Or, better said, the babies and their exhausted mothers and fathers do.

The Cambridge Pantry is out of Size 5 and 3 diapers and needs help. Whatever the pantry gets vanishes instantly, and food banks don’t send them, so the pantry is out. Please help if you can. They are essential.
