In 2017, our Founder and President, Anna Pivoras, noticed a gaping hole in the community when it came to infant hygiene. Programs such as WIC will help provide formula and infant food, but no hygienic supplies such as diapers and baby wipes.
Our Mission
The Baby Bank works toward creating a healthier community, by providing hygiene supplies to children in need. Our vision is to provide products to families in need, containing diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, and baby-safe detergents and soaps. The Baby Bank is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a community where no child goes without basic hygiene supplies for a clean, happy, healthy childhood.
““The need for The Baby Bank is mind-boggling. The organization fulfills a need that has fallen through the cracks in the system.””
