Baby2Baby is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides diapers, formula, clothing and other basic necessities for children living in poverty across the country.
[1] Baby2Baby has distributed over 450 million essential items to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care, hospitals, and underserved school districts.
[4][5] In 2006, Karis Jagger, Lee Michel, and Marnie Owens established an organization dedicated to recycling baby items for families in need.
[16] In 2023, Baby2Baby was selected by the White House to pilot a program to combat the maternal mortality crisis and improve maternal mental health in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services to deliver critical items like diapers, hygiene products, breastfeeding supplies, postpartum care, and educational resources to new moms immediately after giving birth.
The program was initially launched in Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico — three states with the highest maternal mortality and child poverty rates — and expanded in 2024 to include California, New York, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
