Amazon & Baby2Baby Continue Major Nationwide Initiative to Support Children in Need
Nearly one hundred thousand essentials are provided to Boston Public Health Commission
DETAILS: Amazon and Baby2Baby are uniting to combat the ongoing shortages and soaring costs of essential family products nationwide. Leveraging their robust distribution networks, Baby2Baby is continuing its campaign collaborating with Boston Public Health Commission for a substantial donation of over 69,000 diapers and over 24,000 wipes. This initiative, aimed at easing the strain on thousands of local families, marks a significant stride towards ensuring vital necessities reach those children most in need.
New shocking data reveals 47% (almost half) of families reported diaper insecurity in 2023.
“Diapers are expensive and play an important role in a child’s health. But we know there are many young families in our community that are struggling to buy them because costs of living keep rising,” said Jerome Smith, Amazon’s Head of Community Engagement for New England. “At Amazon we’re proud to partner with the Boston Public Health Commission and Baby2Baby on this impactful work to fill the gap and provide diapers and wipes to families who need it most.”
“The Boston Public Health Commission is immensely
thankful for the generous donation of diapers and wipes from Amazon and
Baby2Baby,” said Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Commissioner of Public Health of the
City of Boston and Executive Director of the Boston Public Health Commission. “We
will give them directly to families in need who are enrolled in our Healthy
Baby Health Child program which works to improve the health and well-being of
babies and families here in Boston.”
"We are so
proud to continue our impactful partnership with Amazon and leverage their
unmatched shipping capabilities to further our mission of providing the
essentials that every child deserves," said Baby2Baby Co-CEOs, Norah
Weinstein and Kelly Sawyer Patricof. "This year alone, we have
requests for over one billion diapers for the families we serve. Amazon's
generous contribution will help us to deliver millions of diapers and wipes to
the most vulnerable communities across the country and ease this burden on
parents."
