Every child deserves a clean, safe, healthy start
Diapers are not covered by SNAP or WIC, and many families struggle to afford enough of them. When a family runs short, babies stay in wet diapers longer, parents miss work, and stress fills the home. Our Baby Pantry closes that gap with free diapers, wipes, formula, clothing, and safe sleep items, given with dignity and compassion. Your gift stays right here in Jackson County.
