Did y'all miss us? 👀 Warehouse Wednesday is BACK.
We took last week off for Diaper Need Awareness Week
(that week was PACKED), but we're back at it.
This week's Warehouse Wednesday is a little different. Our Open House is next Saturday October 3 from 10 AM to 2 PM, so Fred is giving you the rundown.
Come tour the warehouse. See where everything happens. And if you've got coats to donate, bring them. We're kicking off our coat drive at the Open House. New or gently worn, infant through elementary sizes.
Then we hear from Tianna (our volunteer coordinator) and Arushi (our partnership specialist ). Both are new to Share Baby this year, so this will be their first Open House. They're sharing what they're excited to see.
#ICYMI: If you were not able to join us live, our Diaper Need Awareness Week virtual panel is now available to watch.
We hope you will take a few minutes to watch the conversation, learn more, and share it with someone in your village.
Dr. Kelley Massengale from the National Diaper Bank Network helped break down what diaper need can mean for families.
One number that stayed with us: $1,520,851,330 each year. That is the estimated annual cost connected to diaper insecurity, diaper dermatitis and wages lost when parents cannot access child care because they do not have enough diapers.

ShareBaby was at the Franciscan Center’s first ever Resource Fair today. 💜 @fcbmore
They brought together healthcare, food access, and community organizations all in one place. Because families need more than diapers. They need the whole picture.
Glad to be in the room. 🤝

As we close out Diaper Need Awareness Week, we had to stop by one of our amazing community partners who hosted an event right in the spirit of the week. 💜
Check out the incredible work happening at Curtis Bay Elementary School @curtisbayjudycenter . They showed up, showed out, and reminded us what this week is really about. Community. Real people showing up for real families. Not just talking about diaper need, but doing something about it.
Because here's the truth. Diaper Need Awareness Week isn't just about awareness. It's about action. It's about schools, community partners, and organizations coming together to make sure families have what they need. Diapers. Wipes. Essentials. The things that shouldn't be a luxury but somehow are for too many families.
And when a community partner like Curtis Bay Elementary steps up, that's the whole point. That's what "Basics Aren't Basics" looks like in real life. Real people, real spaces, doing real work.
So as we wrap up this week, we just want to say thank you. To Curtis Bay Elementary. To every partner, donor, volunteer, and person who wore purple, dropped off donations, shared a post, or simply learned something new this week.
The week might be ending, but the need doesn't. Families still need diapers. Still need wipes. Still need essentials. And Share Baby is still here, every day, making sure they get them.
💜 Thank you for showing up this week. Now let's keep going.
