Cloth for a Cause is a Canadian cloth diaper charity dedicated to providing quality, sustainable cloth diapers for those in need. Glow Bug Cloth Diapers is a supporter and sponsor of Cloth for a Cause and several other cloth diaper related charities. Cloth for a Cause says that cloth diapers are so important for struggling families because " the cost of disposable diapers and wipes is at $2,700 from birth to toddler hood. The cost of laundering cloth diapers for that amount of time comes in at around $585.00. While buying cloth diapers is more economical, not many low income parents have $300-$500 to spend on cloth diapers for their little ones all at once. When you consider that the spending budget meant to cover food, diapers, and everything other then rent for a mother and child on assistance is 250-300, it seems to make more sense to pay $45 per month on a pack of disposables."
For anyone interested in making a donation, Cloth for a Cause is always in need of: - financial donations (to cover costs of shipping, fabric, snaps, velcro, etc.) - repairable, well loved diapers (elastic stretched, repelling, etc) - materials. (cottons, bednsheets, PUL, elastic, fold over elastic, etc.) - time and labour to help create cloth diapers or repair them.
