ShareBaby
ShareBaby is a network of love extending across Baltimore that provides diapers, wipes, clothing, gear, and other essential items to families with young children. What began with three moms and a social worker in 2014 is now a citywide force connecting families. Through the years, ShareBaby has touched the lives of 270,000+ children by providing 24+ million essential items to Baltimore families.
Basic needs aren’t basic. They’re essential to helping families thrive. But one in two U.S. families report not having enough diapers for their children. In Baltimore, many parents say the financial burden of diapers is overwhelming, and they are forced to make decisions between buying diapers or other necessities like paying bills.
To get items into the hands of families with little ones, ShareBaby works hand-in-hand with 80+ highly effective community-based organizations throughout Baltimore City.
Megan became connected to ShareBaby through The Food Project, a valued partner organization in the Carrollton Ridge neighborhood. Having grown up witnessing families struggle to provide for their children, and still seeing those challenges today, she understands how critical access to basic necessities can be. “I see a lot of people, and a lot of families, struggle— including myself— with worry about how they’re going to get things for their kids.”
Each time Megan distributes the items provided by ShareBaby, she is moved by the gratitude and relief expressed by families in need. “When I give the items that [ShareBaby] gives to us, the amount of love and thankfulness that I get from the families, it’s just heartwarming.”
