Yesterday was the 3rd annual Baby Gear Swap. And yesterday nearly 20,000 DIAPERS were handed off to families of the Des Moines area.
That’s 20,000 more times that a mom isn’t panic-searching for a diaper.
20,000 more times a dad can confidently diaper their child.
20,000 more times that a baby has a clean diaper, allowing those beautiful neurons to connect, connect, build, and grow.
Thank you SO much for all you do for this community. Truly an authentic labor of love. Audri, Violet, and crew… just wow! Powerful caretakers, you are. Many beautiful organizations and small businesses showed up to let the love and care flow. It was amazing!
Big thanks to our board president and his incredible kiddo who helped hand out diapers and break down box after box of diapers that went into parents’ hands. To and our children who we couldn’t have done without. And to Lou’s crew of brothers who helped close out the show - big love!
Last but certainly not least… ! Your donation of thousands of diapers made this possible. You. Are. Imperative. Thank you!
Cheers and Happy Mother’s Day to all the forms of mama figures and caretakers out there. You are loved!
