Happy Birthday to our founder, Quady!
This has been a tough year but even when life has been challenging, her heart for this work and the people we serve has never wavered.
Today, we celebrate not only the birthday of the woman who helped bring Pinwheel Place to life, but also her compassion, dedication, and the love she continues to give to others.
Quady, we hope this next year brings you the same love, kindness, and support that you so freely give to everyone around you. You deserve to be celebrated today and every day!
Happy Birthday, Quady! We are so grateful for you and all that you do for Pinwheel Place!

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year… 🎶

What do you mean it’s only October?! Oops! We may be jumping ahead, but it’s time for Pinwheel Place’s Adopt-a-Family Holiday Wish List Program!

Help us make the holidays magical for families who have used our crisis nursery over the past year. By adopting a family and fulfilling their holiday wish lists, you can bring joy to children and remind their parents that their community is here to support them.

Let’s give these families a season filled with kindness, connection, and a little holiday magic!

Interested in adopting a family? Message us or email [email protected] to get involved.

Diaper Need Awareness Month may be ending, but diaper need continues all year.

Behind the facts in this image are families working hard to meet their children’s basic needs. Every child deserves clean, dry diapers, and every parent deserves support.

Please help keep this conversation going: share this post, talk with your family and friends about diaper need, and continue supporting organizations like Pinwheel Place that tackle it head-on.

Donating diapers, purchasing from our Amazon wishlist, or simply spreading awareness can help us reach more families throughout the year.

We currently need size 6 diapers—any brand is welcome!

Many of you have asked whether you can donate used car seats to Pinwheel Place. We appreciate you thinking of us! For safety reasons, we cannot accept used car seats.

If you have one to pass along, Target is holding a Car Seat Trade-In Event through October 3. You can drop off an old car seat at a participating Target store for recycling. Target also offers a 20% off Target Circle bonus toward eligible new baby gear.

Thank you for helping us keep children safe! 💙
