If your used cloth diapers are a little past the point of being sold on ebay, then donate them to us! Our Groovy Mama team will fix them up and put together a package to donate to a low-income family. We love to keep diapers out there and in use until they are truly used up. We have donated hundreds of diapers to families who otherwise may not have the financial means to buy cloth diapers.

We believe that we are all related. That we’re moms to your children and you’re a mom to ours. That our choices affect you and yours. So, we look to see how we can make a difference in this world. Because this is the only world we will be handing over to our kids. Here are some of the projects we’re involved in right now. We hope this inspires you to join these efforts, start your own or join something that’s close to your home or close to your heart.

School closures: There’s a movement afoot to close small community schools in Regina and to bus children to other schools. Busing children out of their neighbourhood disconnects them from their own community. Our research also shows that children who get bused out of their neighbourhood for school end up with lower grades, lower reading levels and less of a connection to their community.

Cloth Diapering: It takes 500 years for disposable diapers to decompose in a landfill. That’s way too long for our liking. We love the earth too much to do that to it. Along with Tush Cloth Diapers, we offer free workshops on how to cloth diaper. We don’t care if you buy them from us or others. We just want our society to be rid of disposables that hurt the earth. To get on the list for the next workshop just contact us.
