Today on World Mental Health Day, we’re honoring the parents and caregivers of babies and young children who carry so much, often quietly. Your well-being matters just as much as your child’s, and no one should have to choose between meeting basic needs and protecting their mental health. When families have diapers, clothing, and essential supplies, everyday stresses feel a little lighter, and there’s more room for rest, connection, and hope. That’s what ShareBaby works to provide. 💜

Thank you to everyone who came to our Open House. 👶👶🏽👶🏾💜💙 376 diaper bundles wrapped. 18,800 diapers ready for community partners. The coat bin went from empty to this. But there’s still space. And watching young people carry coats to the bins on their own. That’s everything. They’re listening. They’re learning. They’re our future volunteers and donors. We start distributing coats next week. Need winter coats, infant sizes through children’s 14-16. Bins are outside the warehouse 24/7. Drive by. Drop what you can. #ShareBaby #OpenHouse #ThankYou #BaltimoreNonprofit #CoatDrive

28 days until Election Day. One opportunity to support Baltimore families. 💜 During our ShareBaby open house this past Saturday, Julia Ellis, Media Chair for the Baltimore Baby Fund campaign, @bbbfund 💛 joined us at the advocacy table to help spread the word and encourage a vote FOR Question I. In this video, Julia shares why this measure matters. ShareBaby Board Member Ana Rodney joined Julia at the table to help raise awareness and talk with visitors about the Baltimore Baby Fund. What is Question I? It would create the Baltimore Baby Fund—a dedicated city fund to help families with newborns become more financially stable. The city would contribute each year, and the money could only be used for that purpose. It could not replace existing city funding for newborns.elections.maryland At ShareBaby, we say Basics Aren’t Basic. A clean diaper. Warm clothing. The everyday essentials a child needs. These things may sound small, but they mean so much to a family. Supporting children and parents takes a village. Donating essentials is one way to help. Supporting policies that invest in families is another.

Did you know a family with multiples can go through hundreds of diapers every week? Swipe to do the diaper math. For families already struggling to afford basic necessities, diapering multiple babies at once can make an already difficult situation even harder.
