New Book About @Twitter, #SocialMedia, & #Nonprofits

Long time HAMO supporter, Janet Fouts (@jfouts), along with Beth Kanter (@kanter) recently published a book about social media and how non profit organizations can further their mission by jumping into this crazy and mysterious world of social media. Believe it or not, prior to HAMO we were pretty much “off the grid” when it came to social networking sites.

The Baby Boy Wears a Size 5: A Story from San Francisco’s Bayview

Nina and friends told me story about a mom that usually comes to them on Mondays. She has a young child, as well as a 6 month old baby boy. Because she believes that larger sized diapers hold more, and therefore, are cheaper in cost, she puts the baby boy in size 5, even though he really fits a size 3. The baby is six months old and is still wearing newborn clothes, because the mothers doesn’t have bigger clothes for him to wear. So his clothes are too tight, and he stays in the Size 5 diaper longer than he probably should.

How YOU are Making an Impact: East Bay Edition
April 11, 2010 – 11:36 am | No Comment

Want to know what kind of impact your support has made? Check out a few real mom quotes from our partner, Brighter Beginnings in the east bay. They literally go to where families in crisis live and assist them with difficult issues and provide parenting resources and support. They keep families from falling into homelessness and prevent child abuse by providing tools and resources to keep children healthy. We recently ask a few of their moms how our diapers have impacted their lives and how it makes them feel. Because of YOU, many babies get to go to sleep with a clean diaper. Does that make you feel like a super hero?

Take The Preschool Challenge

Just days before I was contacted by a desperate employee of a Bay Area family shelter. Eight babies had recently come through their doors and they were desperate for diapers. After pitching the idea to the school’s director, we decided that doing a good deed for these babies would be a great opportunity for the kids to directly help others.
