Helping Mamas Essentials

That’s a wrap on the 4th Annual Witches Ride! ✨🧙‍ Last Sunday, October 25th, more than 300 witches (aka the moms of Brookhaven 🖤) took to the streets in 60+ fully themed golf carts, tossing candy Mardi Gras–style to every little goblin and ghoul who lined the route. 🍬🎃 The creativity this year was next level. We had Dolly Partons, pirates, Tic Tacs, Toy Story, astronauts blasting off, and so much more. Every cart brought the magic! 🚀🏴‍☠️🤠 And the best part? Together they raised $12,245 for Helping Mamas! Every dollar helps get essential baby items to moms and families in our community who need them. A huge thank you to Tess Marks for leading this coven for the fourth year running, and to every witch who dressed up, decorated, drove, and donated. And thank you to the Brookhaven community for coming out to cheer on the witches, support Helping Mamas, and join in a little Halloween fun! 🧹 See you next year, witches! 🔮 #WitchesRide #BrookhavenGA #HelpingMamas #MomsOfBrookhaven #HalloweenParade #golfcartparade

Your child's outgrown clothes have a whole second chapter ahead of them. 🤍 All clothing donations come in, get sorted by our incredible volunteers by size and season, and get packaged into bags just like these. Each bag includes jammies and outfits with a full week's worth of clothing because not every family has access to a washer and dryer. We ask that all donations be in great condition with no holes or stains so every child receives something they can feel good in. That matters to us.

A new address, the same community showing up for families in need. Helping Mamas Atlanta has moved warehouses and we're ready to receive donations at our new warehouse starting today. Swing by Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

Donation drop-offs are back open at our new Atlanta warehouse, and we've got five convenient locations across the area. Swipe through to see what we accept, what we can't take, and where to bring your items. Drop-off locations and hours: Helping Mamas Warehouse, 2150 Northmont Parkway Suite E, Duluth GA 30096 — Mon through Fri, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Baby Braithwaite, 3535 Northside Parkway, Atlanta GA 30327 — Tues through Sat, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM *accepts diapers, wipes, bottles, hygiene items, and formula only* Clear Path Family Chiropractic, 1500 Peachtree Industrial Blvd Suite 290, Suwanee GA 30024 — Mon, Wed, and Thur, 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM Cannon United Methodist Church, 2424 Webb Gin House Rd., Snellville GA 30078 — Mon through Thur, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Congregation Dor Tamid, 11165 Parsons Rd, Johns Creek GA 30097 — Mon through Thur 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Fri 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

We do not do galas. We do Team Challenge. 🩷 And this year, our community showed us exactly why this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. From the teams who competed to the donors who cheered them on, the support we felt throughout this campaign was something we will not forget. Thank you to every team, every donor, and every person who shared a link or dropped off a donation. You made this year’s Team Challenge a success we are still celebrating. We are already looking forward to making next year even bigger.

What a special day between the hedges! ❤️🖤 Helping Mamas was honored to join the Kirby Smart Family Foundation at Sanford Stadium for its annual giving day and to be surrounded by so many incredible organizations working to strengthen communities across Georgia. We are incredibly grateful to receive a $10,000 Red Zone Award from the Foundation! This generous support will help Helping Mamas provide car seats and pack-n-plays to families who need safe options for their babies to sleep and travel. In 2026 alone, the Kirby Smart Family Foundation awarded more than $300,000 to nonprofits across Georgia. We are so thankful to Kirby and Mary Beth Smart and the entire Foundation for investing in organizations serving children and families throughout our state. And an extra highlight of the day was getting to celebrate alongside our friends at the Athens Area Diaper Bank, another grant recipient. We love seeing diaper need recognized and supported across Georgia! Thank you, Kirby Smart Family Foundation, for being champions for Georgia families—and for supporting Helping Mamas as we work to ensure more babies have the essentials they need to be safe and healthy. ❤️ #HelpingMamas #KirbySmartFamilyFoundation #GoDawgs #GeorgiaBulldogs #SafeSleep

Every baby deserves to be clean, dry, and healthy — yet 1 in 2 families in Georgia can’t afford enough diapers. This September, join our Annual Team Challenge and rally your coworkers, friends, or community group to help change that. When you form a team, you’re not just collecting diapers — you’re giving parents peace of mind, easing impossible choices, and helping children thrive. Our CEO, Jamie Lackey, is calling on YOU to step up. The need is rising, and our shelves are running low. But together, we can fill the warehouse and meet the growing need for thousands of families. 📅 Sign up now to lead your team into action. The challenge starts September 1. 👉🏻Sign Up Here: https://f.mtr.cool/pdrunfy7kd

We were honored to welcome State Senator Adrienne White Carden to Helping Mamas Atlanta this month. Senator White Carden is visiting nonprofits across her district to understand how policy impacts families on the ground. When she walked through our warehouse, she saw firsthand how diaper insecurity affects real families here in Atlanta. These conversations matter. Elected leaders who take time to understand community needs are the ones who can help drive real change. We're grateful for Senator White Carden's commitment to listening. 💗

This past month, our Atlanta warehouse has been overflowing with generosity, and we want to celebrate the partners making it possible. Thank you to @dentaltlc for your donation of hygiene items and diapers. To @jlatlanta for stepping up for our community. To @sageofficial for the beautifully decorated and assembled period kits. To @sisterhoodcircleofservice for your donation of diapers. To @rotaryclubofsugarloaf for your commitment to diaper access. And to Healthy Smiles of Lawrenceville for the dental hygiene items that will be incorporated into our hygiene kits. Each donation represents families who will have access to essentials they deserve. Each organization represents what partnership looks like. We're grateful. 💗

September was full of purpose at Helping Mamas Atlanta, and we have incredible volunteers to thank. Thank you to Direct TV for showing up and showing out. To Grady Memorial Hospital for your commitment to our mission. To our Second Saturday volunteers who give reliably, month after month. To Sisterhood Circle of Service, Iglesia de Georgia, and Roswell Care Service League for your partnership. And to every individual who walked through our warehouse doors and got to work. You made September possible. You made diaper access possible for families in Atlanta. We're grateful. 💗

This is what community support makes possible. 🩷 Because of the incredible generosity of our donors and volunteers, Helping Mamas Atlanta had the surplus to invite partner agencies like Fulton County WIC to come to our warehouse and stock up ahead of the fall and winter season. When our shelves are full, our partners can serve their clients with confidence, trust, and zero hesitation. That is the ripple effect of every diaper donated, every dollar given, and every hour volunteered. Thank you for making moments like this one possible.

A big thank you to Crawford & Boyle for stopping by Helping Mamas and presenting us with a generous $500 donation! Each month, attorneys at Crawford & Boyle select a local nonprofit to support, and we are so grateful to be chosen as this month’s recipient. Their gift will help us provide diapers and other essential items to families in our community. We appreciate Crawford & Boyle for investing in local organizations and helping us make a difference for families across Georgia. 💙
