LoveLine, a pro-life ministry that assists women who are facing difficult situations with unplanned pregnancies and whose staff is mostly in Texas, spearheaded a diaper drive to assist flood victims in Texas. They personally delivered over 54,000 diapers and 66,000 wipes to Kerrville, Texas yesterday, where more than 100 people were killed in recent flash floods.
Flood victims in Texas should not have to worry about essentials like diapers in the aftermath of such a horrid disaster.
LoveLine, a project that is part of ProLove Ministries that helps pregnant women and mothers of infants with everything from food and clothes to rent and job searches, delivered 10 pallets of diapers and wipes to a pregnancy center in Kerrville, TX this week to assist victims of the recent floods. LoveLine’s goal was initially to raise $20,000 to provide a month’s supply of diapers, wipes, and training pants for 400 families but that goal was met within 72 hours of kickoff.
NUMBERS:
- Number of families assisted: 400
- Size 3 diapers: 8,400 diapers
- Size 4 diapers: 11,250 diapers
- Size 5 diapers: 9,900
- Size 6 diapers: 8,100
- 2-3T Training pants: 11,250
- 4-5T Training pants: 5,400
- Total diapers: 54,300
- Wipes: 1,100 packages or 66,000 individual wipes.
Abby Johnson, CEO and Founder of ProLove Ministries and And Then There Were None, talked about the project:

“This disaster hits so close to home for me and for many of our staff in Texas and we wanted to be boots on the ground for families who lost everything. This drive is part of that effort. When donors provide funds for specific needs, they can be assured that our staff and volunteers will put their gifts to use, physically meeting the needs of women and their families. We are so appreciative of people who trust us to do what we say we are going to do and can’t wait to drop off as many diapers and wipes as is needed in Kerrville. This is heavy work – both emotionally and physically – but because of all the people who donate towards our goals, we are able to help others in big ways.”
Donations will continue to be accepted for this project as long as there is need. Donations are put into a restricted account and will be used only for this project.
Diapers will be purchased locally with leftover funds and delivered soon. Ten pallets of diapers and wipes were delivered this week to the Pregnancy Resource Center of Kerrville, TX.
