Overview

Mission

The principal purpose of this organization is to provide assistance to infants, young children, and their parents by supplying them with access to diapers, various sundries and supplies associated with their day-to-day care and overall well-being.

What it reported doing in 2024

To share the love of christ with others by providing disposable diapers and wipes to low-income families. Through the principle of good stewardship we endeavor to share the blessings supplied to our organization with the local community. Monthly, a total of 160 children received diapers, wipes, clothing and baby accessories and approximately 30 adults received aiding with disposable underwear and incontinence pads. In addition, during the year 123,843 baby diapers and adult hygiene products were allocated to partnering agencies.

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
