The Center’s DIAPER PROJECT

Provides families in financial distress with an adequate supply of diapers for their infants and toddlers. Volunteers work with churches, businesses, schools, civic groups, and organizations to collect diapers for distribution at Dorothy Mae Hall Women’s Center. Diapers are a basic need for children, as essential to their health and well-being as food, shelter, and a parent’s love.

HOST A DIAPER DRIVE
Diaper Drives can be hosted by businesses, schools, congregations, civic groups, and neighborhoods. They are a great way to get youth and children involved in community service. Donations from diaper drives are essential to DMHWC’s Diaper Project’s ability to serve hundreds of babies.

Adult Programs

Irrespective of how a client becomes homeless, all The Center's clients receive:
  • Safe, confidential case management and support.
  • A personal case manager to assist in coordinating the client's journey to self-sufficiency.
  • Financial consulting to assist with budgeting, debt repayment and savings strategies.



And while each woman and family served by The Center is unique, some common causes for why individuals may need services are: domestic violence, human trafficking, sudden loss of loved one, unexpected medical calamity, natural disaster, political unrest in a client's home country, and more.
