150 Days of Impact: A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Frederick Community

When we launched just five months ago, we had a simple mission: to ensure that no family in Frederick, Maryland, has to choose between putting food on the table and buying essential hygiene products. Today, we’re looking back at our first 150 days, and the results are a testament to the power of community.

The Power of Your Donations

The sheer volume of support we’ve received has been overwhelming. In less than half a year, we have successfully collected over 15,000 diapers and hygiene essentials. These aren’t just items on a shelf; they represent health, dignity, and relief for parents and individuals navigating difficult times.

Thanks to our volunteers and partners, we’ve already moved those donations into the hands of those who need them most, distributing nearly 12,000 items across the county.

Focus on Dignity: The FLOwer Kit Initiative

One of our proudest achievements this season has been the launch of our FLOwer kits. We know that “period poverty” is a significant barrier to education and work. To combat this, we’ve assembled 228 feminine hygiene kits, specifically designed to provide reliable, monthly support with care and respect.

Real People, Real Impact

While the numbers help us track our growth, the real story is in the families we serve. To date, we have directly supported more than 450 families right here in Frederick.

Behind every kit and every diaper bundle is a neighbor who can breathe a little easier this month. Whether it’s a mother who can now send her child to daycare because she has the required diapers, or a student who doesn’t have to miss class, this impact is yours as much as it is ours.

Looking Ahead

We are thrilled to announce that our mission is gaining major momentum! We recently won a $3,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Frederick County.

These funds are specifically designated to support our 2nd Annual Frederick Diaper Drive, held in partnership with the Rotary Club of Frederick. This grant allows us to scale up our collection efforts and ensures that our next drive will be our most impactful one yet.

Looking Ahead: The 2026 Unity Campaign

The excitement doesn’t stop there. We are honored to share that we have been selected as one of only 37 organizations to participate in the United Way Unity Campaign (taking place March 4–18, 2026).

Being part of this campaign is a major milestone for our young organization. It means that during those two weeks in March, your donations to us can be increased through the Unity Campaign’s incentive match, helping your dollars go further for families in our community.

Want to be part of the next 15,000? Whether you donate items, volunteer your time to assemble kits, or share our mission with a friend, you are the heartbeat of this organization.
