We need your help, Village 💜

Our diaper depot and clothing boutique are critically low on stock for the upcoming cold months, and we’re calling on our community to help us restock essential items for the families we serve.

Right now, our greatest needs are:
👶🏽 Fall & winter children’s clothing
🤰🏽 Maternity clothing
🧷 Diapers (sizes 4, 5 & 6)
🧻 Baby wipes

These items, many of which come from generous donors like you, help us provide dignity, comfort, and care during times of need.

📍 Donations can be dropped off Wednesdays from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. at Uzazi Village
📧 Not sure what we accept? Send us a message or email us at [email protected]

Every item makes a difference. Thank you for showing up for our community 💕

Diapers are a basic need, but not every family can afford them. 💜

👉️ 1 in 2 U.S. families struggle to afford enough diapers
👉️ Diapers cost about $100/month per child
👉️ Most assistance programs don’t cover them

That’s why we’re here.
Uzazi Village hosts our FREE Diaper Depot on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays because no caregiver should have to choose between diapers, food, or rent.
