Our Give back Program

Hi!

We are so excited with all the mamas and daddies we've met so far. This is why we do what we do! For the people.

We are so excited about our give back program, "1 for 10". For every 10 diapers sold, we will donate one diaper to a non-profit organization who can then give it to someone in need. Today we teamed up with Giving Diapers, Giving Hope, a non-profit organization that collects and distributes diapers to families in need. 

I had read several months ago that diaper rash cream sales were at an all time rise. At first, I got really excited because I thought it meant people would want to start using cloth. But then when I stopped and  thought about WHY diaper rash creme sales were up, I realized the bizarre reality that food stamps and WIC type programs do not cover diapers. Many poor families leave a diaper on their baby as long as they can, stretching out the time to make the pack of diapers last as long as possible. I've even read about people rinsing and drying disposable diapers to use again!

For me, it's a no-brainer. If you have a wash machine or even a bathtub with running water, and a dryer or close-line  you should use cloth! Not only is it much cheaper, it's healthier, more convenient  more reliable, and simply more adorable.

Hopefully our community program will make a difference, even if small. For more information on our "1 for 10", email us! AnchorDiaperCo@gmail.com.

Love,
The Anchor Mamas
