A community where every child, parent, and individual has access to the essential hygiene products they need to thrive.
History:
In 2013, after completing a year-long family project focused on daily random acts of kindness, paired with an inspiring message from author, speaker, and advocate Jen Hatmaker, Helen Hutton, Executive Director of Baby Booties Diaper Bank, felt called to make a tangible impact in the local community.
While speaking with nonprofit organizations throughout Collin County, one need consistently rose to the top: diapers. No state or federal assistance programs provide diapers, they are expensive for both families and nonprofits to purchase, and storage limitations often prevented organizations from distributing them consistently. At the time, no organization in the area was focused exclusively on addressing diaper need.
With support from friends, family, and the community, Baby Booties Diaper Bank was officially founded in November 2013.
What began as a small grassroots effort has since grown into one of North Texas’ leading diaper banks, serving families across Collin County and surrounding communities through monthly public distributions, school partnerships, and collaborations with local nonprofits and community organizations.
Today, Baby Booties Diaper Bank provides diapers, formula, and period products to hundreds of local families each month. Since its founding, the organization has distributed more than 3.5 million diapers and over 584,000 period products to children, teens, and families in need across North Texas.
