BASIC NEEDS
I’m seeking affordable cloth diapers.
Whether you are hoping to be more environmentally friendly or you want to reduce diapering costs, cloth diapers are a great way to go. Here are some organizations that offer free or low cost cloth diapers for families in need.

GroVia
Diaper Lending Program
https://www.grovia.com/pages/grovia_gives_main
GroVia Gives is a US-based cloth diaper lending program intended to help families with temporary or long term financial struggles diaper their babies. GroVia believes that no baby should go without clean, safety-compliant diapers, and no family should have to choose between paying for food and utilities and diapering their baby. Cloth diapers can eliminate diaper need for families who have ready access to washing facilities. GroVia Gives does not accept diaper donations at this time. All products used through this lending program are designed and manufactured by GroVia to ensure they are of the highest quality and meet all safety standards.

ShareBaby
*MARYLAND*
Email: info@sharebaby.org
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/ShareBabyMD/
ShareBaby was founded in November of 2014 by three local moms who wanted to meet the desire of mothers to share their new or gently used baby items with the families that need them most. ShareBaby began collecting from friends and family and storing donations in their basements and garages. By the summer of 2015, they had distributed more than 14,000 items to children in need. In August of 2015, ShareBaby started Baltimore’s first diaper bank to meet this specific deficiency in public assistance to mother and babies.
