When you make an online donation to Builders for Babies, your contribution goes towards purchasing diapers wholesale through our trusted distributor, JSL Partners. Buying wholesale allows us to stretch every dollar and maximize the number of diapers we can provide to our nonprofit partners and the families they serve.

To put the impact into perspective, just one pallet costs approximately $2,000 and provides more than 10,000 diapers, depending on the sizes. That means your support goes a long way in helping thousands of children in our community.

We have already received diaper requests from more than 50 nonprofit partners, the highest number in the history of the program. The demand continues to grow, and we still have a long way to go before reaching our goal of a million diapers and wipes.

Purchasing wholesale ensures your online donation has the greatest possible impact and helps us serve more families in need.

Please consider supporting the Builders for Babies program and help us make a meaningful difference in our community. https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=homeaidnova&id=88

We were proud to partner with Keller Williams Realty, LLC for their annual day of giving back. Each year, agents, leaders, and associates step away from their daily business responsibilities to serve their communities through acts of renewal, service, and generosity.

More than 50 volunteers arrived bright and early at House of Mercy VA, a nonprofit in Manassas dedicated to feeding and clothing those in need. Throughout the day, volunteers rolled up their sleeves to pick up trash, wash food delivery vehicles, sort food donations, clean and tag items in the thrift shop, and sort and organize dishes. Their hard work and dedication helped support House of Mercy’s mission and made a meaningful impact on the community. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day such a success. https://www.flickr.com/photos/homeaidncr/albums/72177720333663598/with/55269940826

This Mother’s Day, in honor of the mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who help build strong families, support their neighbors, and shape our communities through their care and perseverance, we invite you to support HomeAid National Capital Region’s Builders for Babies program and make a difference for families in need across our region.

Too many parents are forced to choose between paying for housing, food, or basic necessities like diapers and wipes. Through Builders for Babies, HomeAid partners with local nonprofits to provide diapers and wipes to families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, helping ease financial stress and ensure babies have the care they need.

Your donation helps fill a critical need for families facing difficult circumstances and reminds mothers that their community stands beside them. Together, we can help create brighter futures for women, children, and families throughout our region — one diaper, one family, and one act of kindness at a time. https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=homeaidnova&id=88

Earlier today, we hosted a Care Day for Cornerstones , a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families build stable lives by connecting them with critical resources such as housing, childcare, food, and financial assistance.
More than 55 NVBIA - Northern Virginia Building Industry Association Future Leader volunteers spent the afternoon serving at seven affordable housing units in Herndon, Virginia, trimming landscaping, planting flowers, mulching, and clearing outdoor spaces. Their hard work helped create safe, welcoming outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy the warmer weather and connect with their neighbors outside.
Care Days like this are a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished through teamwork and giving back. A huge thank you to all of the volunteers, Future Leaders Chair Les Adkins for his leadership in organizing and recruiting volunteers, and The Davey Tree Expert Company for generously donating all the mulch. https://www.flickr.com/photos/homeaidncr/albums/72177720333521867

BMRA is proud to support the HomeAid National Capital Region Builders for Babies Diaper Drive for the fourth year in a row. To date, BMRA's team has contributed over 23,800 diapers and wipes to this great cause and we're excited to continue our support this Mothers Day

This community‑wide effort collects diapers and wipes for babies and toddlers experiencing or at risk of homelessness. With rising costs and ongoing supply challenges, these essentials are needed now more than ever. Diapers and wipes also cannot be purchased with SNAP or WIC benefits, making donations especially critical.

Donations are collected between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and distributed to local nonprofit organizations serving our region.

We are getting ready to kick off Builders for Babies, our annual community-wide drive to collect diapers and wipes for local nonprofit partners supporting families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This is one of the most powerful ways our community comes together, and we can already feel the momentum building.

This year, we are going all in. Our 2026 goal is to collect one million diapers and wipes by Father’s Day, June 21.

That’s right. ONE MILLION.

It is an ambitious goal, but it reflects the growing need in our community and the incredible impact we know is possible when we rally together. Every donation helps ensure families have access to the basic essentials they need to care for their children with dignity.

There are two main ways you can get involved and give back in a big way:

Host a Collection
Rally your coworkers, friends, Girl Scout troops, book club, school, or faith-based organization to collect diapers and wipes. We will provide a toolkit with everything you need, from social media templates to drop-off checklists. Email Michelle Fargher at [email protected] to get started.

Donate Online
Short on time? No problem. Visit our website, choose how many cases you want to donate, and check out. It is that easy. You can even donate an entire pallet of diapers.

We are excited. We are motivated. And it starts on Mother’s Day, May 10.
