About this organization
Mission
HappyBottoms' mission is to collaborate with community partners to empower, connect, and impact low-income families by alleviating diaper need in the Kansas City community. Census and Kids Count data show nearly 23,000 children in the six-county Kansas City Metro area need diaper assistance. With continuing economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, diaper need is rising, and no government safety net programs (SNAP, WIC, Medicaid) provide coverage for this basic, critical need. Monthly diaper expense per child can exceed $100, particularly for families in the urban core without access to big box or warehouse stores.
