The Impact of Providing Basic Necessities to Families in Need

For many families, access to basic necessities like diapers, period products, baby formula, and hygiene supplies is not guaranteed. Financial hardship forces millions of parents to make difficult choices—sometimes choosing between food, rent, and essential care items.

Lacking these necessities affects health, dignity, and opportunity, making it harder for families to break the cycle of poverty. That’s why organizations like othercare are dedicated to ensuring that no family has to go without the essentials they need to live with dignity.

Why Basic Necessities Matter

🚼 Health & Well-Being – Babies without enough diapers are at risk of infections, rashes, and discomfort. Parents who can’t afford period products often resort to unsafe alternatives, leading to serious health issues.

💙 Emotional & Mental Relief – No parent should have to feel the stress of not being able to provide for their child’s basic needs. Having access to essential supplies brings peace of mind and a sense of security.

🎓 Opportunity & Stability – Many daycare centers require parents to provide diapers. Without them, parents may be unable to work or attend school, leading to financial instability. Likewise, students who lack period products often miss school days, disrupting their education.

How Your Support Creates Change

With every purchase at othercare, 5% goes toward funding diaper banks, period product programs, and hygiene assistance for families in need. Your support helps:

Keep babies healthy with access to clean diapers
