ANNOUNCING OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
With spring upon us and a sense of new beginnings, our Board is thrilled to announce that the baton has passed from Lisa Leavy-Fisher to Elizabeth Peyton, as our next Executive Director. As a volunteer, Elizabeth's involvement with MFO has been fantastic from the first day she joined us in the donation room. Her professional experience in the non-profit world, including the Junior League of Greenwich and The Carver Center, will be integral to the future success of our organization. After surviving a pandemic and coming out stronger, coupled with our 10th Anniversary this year, it is perfect timing for the next chapter. We are so appreciative to Lisa for her commitment, passion and expertise in driving the organization forward these past few years and look forward to her continued role in an advisory capacity.
COVID-19 UPDATE (as of May 6, 2021)
Our Donation Room remains closed for client pick-ups and donation drop-offs of any kind. However, we are actively working with agencies to ensure they receive diapers to distribute to their clients. Clients should contact their case workers directly to coordinate diaper pickup or dial 211 for any other assistance they may need.
WHO WE ARE
Mothers for Others supports the well-being of underserved families by providing diapers for children from birth to 3 years old. In 2020, Mothers for Others streamlined and re-vamped its operations to distribute over 78,000 diapers in trying times, representing a 25% increase from 2019. Mothers for Others works in partnership with Family Centers, Greenwich Department of Human Services, Children's Learning Centers, Kids in Crisis, Malta House, Inspirica, The Undies Project, Person to Person and The Diaper Bank of Connecticut.
