Public Assistance does not cover the cost of diapers--as a result, nearly 30% of mothers report a time when they couldn’t afford diapers for their children. Our guest Lisa Truong started Help A Mother Out to increase access to diapers for families in need. And this Fall, she was awarded a grant from the city of San Francisco to establish and operate the San Francisco diaper bank, making it the first city in the nation to offer public assistance for diapers.
If you'd like to help a mother during this season of giving, donations can be made at helpamotherout.org.
