Supporting Bambinos

Why should I support the mission of Bambinos?

Families of rural Polk, Benton, Linn, Marion, and Yamhill Counties struggle to provide basic needs for their babies. Often, they must choose between diapers and keeping the lights on. This can be because they lack community and other support networks.
 

Bambinos provides free diapers, wipes, formula, car seats, and other baby essentials to these families. We also connect families to other local resources, including classes, collaborative nonprofits, and churches.
 

We provide ongoing monthly assistance to at least 160 babies and their families so that these families can use their resources on sustainable housing, transportation, and utilities. By doing this, babies are healthier, and families feel supported and develop community connections.
 

You can join the movement by making a gift today to help reach our current campaign of $15k. This will help launch us through the end of the year.
 

Last year, we helped an average of 37 babies per month. This year, we are helping an average of 160 babies per month. That is a FOUR-FOLD increase.

We believe in being fiscally responsible and transparent.
