When I was pregnant with my daughter, I really wanted to reduce our impact on the enviroment and the amount of toxins that she was exposed to. I spent hours researching cloth diaper options and realized that this really was the best choice for our family. However, cloth diapering can be very expensive and many people feel that they cannot afford to start. However, diapers, cloth or disposable are very expensive and not usually covered by government programs.
One in three families in the United States and Canada who have to choose between buying disposable diapers and buying food or paying rent. Regardless of why these families choose cloth, the start up costs can often be intimidating. For that 33%, the start up costs can be crippling and seemingly insurmountable. That’s where Cloth for a Cause, Cloth Diaper Addicts, Viva Veltoro, and Leettle Baby… and the Build Your Stash Bash comes into play.
Cloth for a Cause is a brand new Canadian charity. We’ve been operating since 2011 with a simple mission: to help those 33% get their babies in diapers. In the year and a half that we’ve been open, Cloth for a Cause has expanded from one little chapter here in Prince George to fourteen stretching across Canada. We’ve helped nearly 150 families get their babies in cloth. Last month, Cloth for a Cause became a legal charity. Not only does that mean that our ability to help struggling families has grown, it also means that our need for assistance has grown! You can help by donating to Cloth for a Cause through our PayPal account or by sending a cloth diaper donation to one of our chapters. (If you live in Canada and are making a donation of $20 or greater, we can issue a tax receipt!) If you’re near one of our local chapters, you can donate material goods and cash directly to the chapter. If you’re not and you’d like to donate some diapers, our Nova Scotia chapter has a large need for services! Now for the Grow Your Stash part of the Grow Your Stash Bash!
