Loving Bottoms provides essential products to families in Knox, Warren, Mercer, Peoria, Henry, Stark, Fulton, Tazewell, Henderson, and Rock Island Counties. It works with 24 partner agencies where diapers and feminine products are passed out.
Porter said during a normal month, the program distributes over 18,000 diapers to more than 360 children and families. COVID-19 has only exacerbated the need across the region.
“In 2020, when we started out the year, we had done just under 200,000 diapers in 2019, so we were like, ‘ok, we want to stretch a bit. We want to do about 250,000 diapers in 2020.’ Then COVID happened. We ended up finishing the year at 503,000 diapers, so just a little over half a million diapers. More than double what our goal was.”
