ShareBaby

At its core, ShareBaby is a network of love across Baltimore that provides diapers, wipes, clothes, gear, and other essential items to families. In 2014, it began with three moms and a social worker, a surplus of baby items, and one powerful vision: connect families to share the love for their little ones.

This year ShareBaby celebrates 10 years of working toward this vision. The tireless work of those who believe in it has changed the lives of more than 100,000 Baltimore families with young children. ShareBaby believes all babies deserve to have their basic needs met.

We’re proud to be working hand-in-hand with 73 highly effective community-based organizations throughout Baltimore City to get items into the hands of families with little ones. Together, our work breaks down barriers for families in need.

Diapers are essential to keep a baby clean and healthy, but half of U.S. families report not having enough for their children. Many parents say the financial burden of diapers is overwhelming and contributes substantially to caregiver stress.

One Baltimore mom shared how she would take anything she had to try to substitute for a diaper. “I’d take a rag and just make it like a diaper. If I ran out of that, I’d wash that and put it back on, or take my pads and make it like a diaper. And that’s hard. It’s really hard.”

Another parent receiving diapers and wipes from ShareBaby was able to use the money saved on diapers to pay daycare late fees, securing childcare and their employment.
