Blessings for Babies
A Community Baby Pantry Serving Suffolk, VA
Many families struggle to keep enough diapers at home. In fact, 1 in 3 U.S. families can't afford a sufficient supply to keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy.
In Suffolk alone, there are over 12,000 households with children—that's 33% of the population.
Why It Matters
Babies use 12–20 diapers a day.
The average monthly cost for diapers is $60–$70 per child. For many families, that's more than 14% of their monthly income.

We connect with families through outreach, referrals, and community awareness.
