Make a donation to support Moms Helping Moms Foundation

I'm running the Philadelphia Marathon on November 20, 2022 to benefit Moms Helping Moms Foundation. Moms Helping Moms Foundation started out as a simple idea by a group of new mothers who shared the common ideal that no baby should ever have to go without life’s basic necessities. Moms Helping Moms Foundation provides low income families in New Jersey with the essential baby items that they need to give their children a safe, happy, and healthy start.

I have always been drawn to the mission of MHM. Being a parent is an extremely hard job on its own, and I could not possibly imagine the stress involved with not having basic necessities for my children. My personal fundraising goal is $3,000.00 and I am so excited to be a part of the MHM team and help raise funds for local families. Any size donation is appreciated and will go a long way. The funds raised will will go toward the below programs:

HEALTHY START FOR BABIES PROGRAM: MHM distributes critical essentials to 100,000+ individuals per year, including 600,000+ diapers per year. Essentials include diapers, wipes, clothes, shoes, blankets, hygiene items, pack n plays, strollers, and more.

EARLY LITERACY PROGRAM: MHM distributes literature in English and Spanish to parents/caregivers on the importance of early reading, talking and singing with children. We also ensure that each child we serve receives at least one book with every wish list fulfillment.

DENTAL PROGRAM: Through partnerships with local Dentists, in 2018 MHM began distributing kid’s toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as literature about proper dental hygiene to our families.

HEALTHY PERIODS: MHM officially began collecting and distributing period supplies on October 19, 2019, which was the first National Period Day. Just one year later, most of our partner agencies now request them, and in that one year we distributed 14000+ of these essential items. Our clients are offered these period items alongside our other items like diapers, safety supplies, and clothing.

ADVOCACY PROGRAM: MHM engages in advocacy and awareness-building efforts related to diaper need and period poverty. We organize diaper and period product drives in our local communities to highlight the importance of these issues and encourage people to donate diapers or dollars to make an impact. We also participate in Diaper Need Awareness Week and Period Poverty Awareness Week each year to help bring awareness to the community and state and local governments.

THANK YOU a million times over for your support. Please visit the MHM page for more information about the mission and the need. https://momshelpingmomsfoundation.org/diaper-need/
