Baby2Baby

Baby2Baby is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides diapers, clothes and other necessities for children in poverty in the Los Angeles area and disaster areas across the country. From 2011 to 2021, Baby2Baby donated over 200 million items to children in need, including those in foster care, disaster victims, homeless and more.

Baby2Baby leads the Baby2Baby National Network, which works with local organizations to "distribute basic essentials to children living in poverty in over 40 cities across the United States."

History
Baby2Baby was initially founded by three mothers in the Los Angeles area. In 2011, the trio asked Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein to take over the organization.

It gained attention for producing diapers that are 80% cheaper than the retail price.

It has garnered support from show business personalities, with a 2018 gala dinner raising $4 million. It is one of four charities that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex suggested people might donate to instead of sending gifts for their newborn son Archie in 2019.

Work
The nonprofit's "Disaster Relief and Emergency Response program" allows it to distribute necessities to U.S. families in the U.S. impacted by natural disasters. in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Baby2Baby sent 1.1 million items to Texas.

In 2020, Baby2Baby worked with FEMA to distribute baby formula, which was undergoing a shortage in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, Baby2Baby was selected by the White House to pilot a program to combat the maternal mortality crisis alongside the Department of Health and Human Services to deliver critical items like diapers, hygiene products, breastfeeding supplies, postpartum care and educational resources to new moms immediately after giving birth. The program was initially launched in Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico — three states with the highest maternal mortality and child poverty rates — and expanded in 2024 to include California, New York, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
