The Cloth Diaper Foundation: Helping to Keep Babies' Bums Covered!

This month Bum Covered Diapers is donating 10% of every sale to the Cloth Diaper Foundation, so we thought it would be very fitting to feature this amazing organization!  

Run by a small board of directors, this nonprofit organization is "dedicated to helping qualifying families all over the continental United States get a jump start on cloth diapering."  This foundation provides much needed help as families try to build a diaper stash. 

 To be able to assist in this manner, the Cloth Diaper Foundation accepts monetary donations as well as cloth diapers, inserts, and other accessories.  Here is a list of items this foundation will accept:

• Stained Diapers
• AIO/AI2/Pocket/Fitted/Contour/Prefold/Flat/Etc. Diapers
• Cloth Trainers (not Gerber or plastic pant trainers)
• Inserts/Doublers/Liners
• PUL/Fleece/Wool/Nylon (higher quality)  Covers
• Wipes/Wetbags/Pail Liners/Wool Wash/Lanolin/Wipe Solution
• Diaper/Cover Making Fabrics – PUL/Fleece/Hemp/Cotton/Etc.
• Diaper Notions – Snaps/Aplix/Elastic/FOE/Size Tags

And here is a list of items NOT ACCEPTABLE for donation:

The Cloth Diaper Foundation has a website (http://www.clothdiaperfoundation.org) with a wealth of information available about donations and applications for assistance.  This website also provides tutorials for sewing your own diapers and covers!
