The Mother’s Day Diaper Drive: Helping to Meet Basic Needs

Donate Baby and Hygiene Supplies for the County Library’s Community Pantry, April 15 – May 15

Being a parent is a rewarding but challenging role. You’re thrust into a world where you’re, sometimes single-handedly, responsible for another life. While this naturally comes with hurdles, being unable to provide basic needs for your family should not be one of them.

As of 2023, approximately 9,060 children under the age of 18 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, are living in poverty, representing about 7.9% of the county’s child population.

As inflation worsens, these families need our support more than ever. Annapolis Moms Media is proud to partner with the Anne Arundel County Public Library (AACPL) for our annual Mother’s Day Diaper Drive. Help us uplift the mothers in our community by donating baby supplies and hygiene products for the Community Pantry at Discoveries: The Library at the Mall.

From April 15 through May 15, you can drop your donation off at any AACPL branch during operating hours or make an online contribution at any time.

Donations requested:

Diapers (greatest need: sizes 4, 5, 6 & 7)
Pull-ups (sizes: 2T/3T, 3T/4T, 4T/5T)
Wipes
Baby soap, shampoo and lotion
Diaper cream
Nursing pads
Pads and pantyliners
Adult toothpaste

The Community Pantry at Discoveries: The Library at the Mall is open to anyone in need of basic baby or hygiene supplies. It operates on the first Saturday of each month from 10 am to noon and the first Tuesday of each month from 6 pm to 7 pm. Those interested in supporting the pantry can also contribute by donating items through Amazon or Target.

Please note that Discoveries: The Library at the Mall is closed through May 2 as an expansion project is underway. However, Community Pantry donations are still being accepted via a donation bin outside the main library doors in the Annapolis Mall.
