Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

HAPPYBOTTOMS' MISSION IS TO COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO EMPOWER, CONNECT AND IMPACT FAMILIES BY ALLEVIATING DIAPER NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. OUR VISION IS TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL STABILITY OF A FAMILY IN CRISIS AND NEED THROUGH DIAPER ASSISTANCE, EDUCATION AND CONNECTION TO SERVICES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

MISSION:ALLEVIATE DIAPER NEED IN THE COMMUNITY.

  • HAPPYBOTTOMS IS KANSAS CITY'S DIAPER BANK. WE ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION FOCUSED SOLELY ON OBTAINING AND DISTRIBUTING DIAPERS TO HELP FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO BRIDGE THE DIAPER NEED GAP (THE NUMBER OF DIAPERS A FAMILY IS SHORT EACH MONTH). IN 2024, 18,545 CHILDREN WERE SERVED (UNDUPLICATED COUNT) AND 5,931,570 DIAPERS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO HAPPYBOTTOMS AGENCY AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS. OF THESE 4,680,737 WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH HAPPYBOTTOMS 73 PARTNER AGENCIES, AS WELL AS 510 POTTY TRAINING KITS. 323,775 DIAPERS WERE DISTRIBUTED BY 7 HOSPITAL SITES. THIS SIGNIFICANT JUMP IN DISTRIBUTION WAS DRIVEN BY BOTH AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN RECEIVING DIAPERS AND THE INCREASE FROM 50 TO 75 DIAPERS PER CHILD/PER MONTH, WHICH WE LAUNCHED IN MARCH 2024. IN ADDITION, 73,705 DIAPERS WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH HAPPYBOTTOMS COMMUNITY OUTREACH INITIATIVES, HAPPY PACKS AND HUB.HAPPYBOTTOMS COMMUNITY DIAPER PROGRAM IS COMPRISED OF BUNDLES OF JOY: PROVIDES MOTHERS AND THEIR NEWBORNS AN INITIAL SUPPLY OF 75 DIAPERS AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO CONTINUE RECEIVING DIAPERS EACH MONTH; MONTHLY DIAPER PROGRAM: CHILDREN RECEIVE 75 DIAPERS OR 50 PULL-UPS, AND POTTY TRAINING EDUCATION: FAMILIES RECEIVE A POTTY TRAINING KIT (POTTY SEAT, STEPSTOOL, PARENT GUIDE TO POTTY TRAINING, BOARD BOOK AND REWARD STICKERS) TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THIS IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE AND ELIMINATE DIAPER EXPENSE.DIAPER NEED IS A SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH. NEARLY 1 IN 2 FAMILIES (47%) WITH YOUNG CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH DIAPERS TO KEEP THEIR CHILD CLEAN, DRY AND HEALTHY. (THE NATIONAL DIAPER BANK NETWORK DIAPER CHECK STUDY 2023) DIAPERS ARE NOT COVERED BY GOVERNMENT SAFETY NET PROGRAMS LIKE WIC, SNAP OR MEDICAID. SINCE THE PANDEMIC, THE PRICE OF DIAPERS HAS INCREASED 48%. IN MISSOURI, FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN EXPERIENCING DIAPER NEED REPORT MISSING AN AVERAGE OF 5 WORKDAYS PER MONTH BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE DIAPERS REQUIRED FOR THEIR CHILD TO ATTEND DAYCARE. WHEN PARENTS ARE UNABLE TO WORK AND DO NOT GET PAID, THEY HAVE LESS INCOME TO PURCHASE DIAPERS. PARENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF DIAPERS LEAVE THEM ON THEIR CHILDREN FOR LONGER THAN INTENDED, CAUSING INFECTIONS OR SEVERE RASHES WHICH LEAD TO MORE FREQUENT DOCTOR VISITS AND MEDICAL COSTS.IN GENERAL, ANY CHILD AGE BIRTH THROUGH AGE 4, RESIDING IN OUR SERVICE AREA WHO RECEIVE SNAP, WIC, TANF OR MEDICAID AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY FOR OUR PROGRAMS. WE ALSO SERVE FAMILIES WHO ARE EXPERIENCING SUDDEN FINANCIAL SETBACKS LIKE UNEMPLOYMENT, EVICTION OR OTHER HARDSHIPS.DIAPERS ARE THE NUMBER 1 REQUESTED ITEM AT SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. BY PROVIDING AGENCIES WITH THE RIGHT SIZE DIAPERS TO DISTRIBUTE TO FAMILIES, HAPPYBOTTOMS IS FREEING UP VALUABLE STAFF TIME AND RESOURCES TO FOCUS ON OTHER CRITICAL AGENCY NEEDS. IN PARTNERING WITH SOCIAL SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, HAPPYBOTTOMS IS PROACTIVELY GIVING FAMILIES ACCESS TO OTHER SERVICES THAT CAN HELP LIFT THEM OUT OF POVERTY, OR HELP PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING BEHIND, SUCH AS CHILDCARE, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, JOB TRAINING AND LOWER MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHCARE COSTS.AT HAPPYBOTTOMS, WE BELIEVE EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE DIGNITY OF A CLEAN DIAPER. ACCESS TO THIS BASIC NEED MEANS FEWER HEALTH CONCERNS FOR BABIES, FEWER MISSED DAYS OF WORK FOR PARENTS, LESS OF A FINANCIAL BURDEN, AND GREATER STABILITY FOR FAMILIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
