 Did you see that ZooNique Baby was participating in this awesome giveaway to help support and raise awareness for the work of The Rebecca Foundation's Cloth Diaper Closet? If you haven't entered yet, there is still time, just jump over to the Zephyr Hill blog here to get the details. :)

Well, I was so excited to see that the giveaway had ALREADY reached the 10,000 entry goal this morning, which would provide a donation of covers for the Cloth Diaper Closet from Zephyr Hill blogger, Anne, that I have decided to offer my own little giveaway here as a THANK YOU! :)

The Rebecca Foundation's Cloth Diaper Closet

Hi Friends!

Today I wanted to share a new organization with you, especially for those of you in the Knoxville area.

The Rebecca Foundation's Cloth Diaper Closet.

I recently asked the founder, Amanda, if she could share a bit more about the outreach and how those interested and show their support, here's what she had to say...

When & Why was the RF Cloth Diaper Closet started? 

The Rebecca Foundation is named after the founders oldest daughter Rebecca, to help families who struggle with protecting and providing for their children. We launched the Cloth Diaper Closet in August of 2012.

Who do you hope to help with your services? 

We hope to reach families who want to provide all that they can for their children but are unable to because of financial limitations. We want to assist families that are currently receiving government assistance such as WIC, Food Stamps, etc...however every situation is different and we will try to help any family in need.

How can those interested get involved/learn more? 

We welcome all volunteers that wish to be involved. We have needs that expand from fundraising to blogging. Those that are interested in getting involved can connect with us at the following:

What types of donations are most needed? Do you accept used items? 

We will take all forms of cloth diapers new or used, and in perfect or imperfect condition; in all sizes : OS, AIO, AI2, covers, prefolds and inserts. If a diaper is in need of minor repair we have some wonderful WAHMS that have volunteered to repair these. We also will take any natural parenting items such as wraps, carriers, clothes, etc....

Are donations tax deductible?

Presently our application for 501c3 is being processed and has not been approved. This process does take time so at the moment donations are not tax deductible. For those that are wishing to donate, I don't think this should be a deciding factor to help a family in need.

How can someone apply to receive loaner diapers from the Foundation? 

On our website we have an application that can be completed however we understand that not everyone has access to a computer in that situation you may contact us via phone at 865-268-3858.

What are your long term goals for the Cloth Diaper Closet? 

Our long term goal is to reach more families in the surrounding states and eventually across the country. One organization cant help everyone and we hope to be another source for families in need.
