I have long admired the work of Miracle Diapers. The organization uses monetary and diaper donations to help give cloth diapers to those who cannot afford them. It is an amazing service that truly helps people in need. According to the organization, “As Miracle Diapers has grown so has the number of families they assist. In 2009, they helped over 450 babies directly, more than 100 babies through sponsorship and local distribution, and assisted other charities with the same mission as well!”
Throughout this past year, Miracle Diapers has developed their organization in many ways, including:
- Naming new leadership with Roxanna Jolly as CEO and Lisa Johnston as Operations Manager and Board Chair
- Relocating their headquarters to Katy, Texas
- Restructuring how they process and accept applications
- Opening a retail store for fundraising
- Founding a new membership program
- Welcoming several new board members from the cloth diapering industry
Because of the growth of the organization and the need to have a name that more directly coincides with their mission, Miracle Diapers is changing their name to The Cloth Diaper Foundation. The mission of the group is the same, and they hope to do even more good work this year and beyond.
What You Can Do to Help
Due to the slump in the economy, monetary donations to Miracle Diapers fell last year, which means there are more families out there for The Cloth Diaper Foundation to help in 2010! Monetary donations are essential for the group to financially support the growth of the organization. You can help share your love of cloth diapers by visiting http://clothdiaperfoundation.org today to make a donation or find other ways you can help.
