Thank you for rallying together to help our Aussie friends. We're excited to share with you that we are coming alongside a grassroots movement to solve diaper need with cloth diapers across Australia. This movement, Cloth Community Fund Australia, is working to get cloth diaper kits direct to families impacted by the bushfires, both immediately and long term.
Jacinta is the Mom behind Cloth Community Fund Australia, and she shares this:
"We are completely overwhelmed and blown away by the responses we’ve had for the Bush Fire appeal. Our Melbourne team has been working hard this week on donations to get them through to the victims. We want to say a big thank you!! "
With immediate needs being met, we are focusing on long term need- often overlooked in disaster response. We also know in times of crisis the most important need is cash, not random things.
We have a unique niche with cloth diapers - we are the largest cloth diaper bank in the world, leveraging powerful relationships with global manufacturers and donors to supply culturally appropriate solutions to meeting basic hygiene needs. This means we can really stretch donor dollars far, and get needed supplies- not random, mixed goods- direct to families in crisis. Our supply chain empowers responders, like Jacinta and her team, on the ground to move quickly, efficiently and effectively to meet hygiene needs of bushfire crisis survivors.
As we prepare to work long term, your funds are a critical piece of the work we do and we are so thankful for your support. We look forward to sharing more with you soon!
Blessings,
Stephanie BowersExecutive Director
About Our Disaster Relief Efforts: Jake’s Diapers recognizes that every person is one disaster away from living in a situation that restricts access to basic necessities. We respond when disaster strikes, understanding the need to be clean and healthy after displacement or destruction. Supporting people impacted in this way restores hope and dignity while creating opportunity to enjoy a better quality of life as they rebuild and recover.
Make your impact today! A donation of $25 distributes hope and dignity through diapers to bushfire survivors
