FAQ
I really need help with diapers. Can HAMO give me diapers?
We do not give diapers directly to individuals. Our diapers are distributed through our network of partnering agencies, and not to individuals. Please contact a partner in your area to inquire about their diaper program. Also check out the National Diaper Bank Network. You can also try to call 2-1-1 for information about a diaper program in your area. Due to the volume of emails we receive each day, we regret we may not be able to respond to in a timely manner. Thank you for your understanding.
Can I donate cloth diapers?
Yes! We gratefully accept NEW cloth pocket diaper kits. Our favorite is Econobum diaper kits. You can even purchase a cloth diaper kit and have it shipped to us. We recommend reading our blog post on the “Diaper Divide“ as a primer on cloth vs. disposable debate.
What is your non profit status?
