Holly: Making A Difference

By Stephanie Bowers | Project Leader

It's a joy to introduce you to Holly, one of our regular volunteers. Every Friday, you can find Holly at our Friday Packing Party, doing whatever needs to be done. Even though Holly has spent the last year volunteering countless hours sorting and packing diapers, she is continually impressed with the organization’s impact.

“The amount that they get out the door, helping out families - not just in our community but around the world,” Holly said. “I can’t imagine our work here just two hours at a clip is making that big of a difference.”

But it is. Since its inception, Jake’s Diapers has shipped over 80,000 cloth diapers worldwide, which comes out to over 40 million diaper changes. Yes, 40 MILLION diaper changes.

Holly volunteers at Jake’s Diapers along with her three daughters. The kids attend Flex Academy, a charter school in Little Chute, and Holly has happily encouraged other school members’ participation in supporting Jake’s. This month, Jake’s hallways were full of parents and students helping out.

Holly said she loves the cause and is especially excited to support Jake’s Diapers while instilling a sense of generosity in her own children.

“They are always so welcoming at Jake's and find something for all of us to do, even the littles,” Holly said. “It makes me proud as their mother to see them enjoying their time helping other families in need.”

More about Holly: 

  • Favorite Diaper Pattern:I love all the diapers. It amazes me to see how many patterns and colors are out there.
  • What Else Do They Do? I love being with my family. We spend our time playing games, going to karate, learning, and playing with our German Shepherd, Lady.

It's a joy to work with Holly and many other tireless volunteers. Together, we're making a world of difference!
