The Cloth Diaper Foundation needs us! Read about all the different ways you can help.

Remember The Cloth Diaper Foundation, formerly known as Miracle Diapers?  Well they are in desperate need of help from the cloth diapering community.

Due to a serious lack of funding The Cloth Diaper Foundation has recently been considering the possibility that they might have to close their doors indefinitely.  As with most non-profits, The Cloth Diaper Foundation relies on donations of diapers and monetary help in order to stay in business.  They need approximately $300.00 coming in per month in order to stay open.  They have currently been averaging less than $20.00 per month.

This is very sad, TCDF has come a long way and helped many many moms and families over the years and now it's our turn to help them.

What can you do to help?

  • Donate!  Donate any amount, even as little as $1.00 by clicking HERE and following the instructions on how to send a gift through paypal.  Your donations help keep TCDF running and help families in need get the cloth diaper loans they apply for.
  • Have a fundraiser!  You could host an auction, designate an item/items to sell and give the proceeds to TCDF.  Have a local yardsale, car wash, bake sale, sell stuff on Craigslist and more!
  • Donate diapers.  Visit TCDF, view their Drop-off Locations and find one near you.  Contact the location and make arrangements to get them your diapers.  They'll take care of shipping the diapers for you in the most economical manner possible. 

  • Buy from TCDF!  Did you know that they have a store?  Spend your money wisely and shop with them, your funds will be going to a good cause and you'll also be getting your shopping fix!  Click HERE to shop in the TCDF store.
  • Become a Sponsor or Member!  TCDF Family Memberships are only $15.00 and Business Memberships start at just $50.00!  Get free advertising and support a good cause.
Aside from these great ways you can help out, visit The Cloth Diaper Foundation Facebook Page and view their Wall.  Make sure you're viewing all the posts from TCDF and others so that you can see all the posts with tons of other great ways you can help.  Many retailers and friends of TCDF are having giveaways, auctions and more!

I blogged about this as well! I'm taking a look at this month's budget to see if I can squeeze out a membership. I did donate the small amount that was in my paypal account.
