🚨 THE TLRC CABINETS ARE STOCKED! 🚨

Our Grab & Go Cabinet has been restocked with diapers in sizes Newborn through Size 6! 🙌 We know how quickly diapers disappear, so please know these likely will NOT last long.

🩷 DIAPERS: NB–6 currently available
➡️ Limit: 2 bags per household so we can help as many families as possible.

Our Dignity Drawer is stocked too! We have period products packaged and ready to grab, including pads, tampons, liners, and other menstrual care items. Period products are necessities—not luxuries—and they're available free, no questions asked.

Please take what you need, leave what you don't, and help us keep these resources available for our community. 💜

And a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated recently. This is exactly where your donations go. Every pack of diapers, every box of pads, every Amazon delivery—it goes right back out into the hands of local families who need it.

📸 This is what community care looks like. 🫶

🚨 TLRC NEEDS YOUR HELP! 🚨

Our Arnold Grab & Go Cabinet and Dignity Drawer are being used HEAVILY right now, and we need our community’s help keeping up with the need.

Just to put the volume into perspective:

🍼 We are going through a MINIMUM of 500 diapers every single week.

🩸 We are distributing hundreds of pads and tampons through our Dignity Drawer.

Right now, we have a great supply of tampons thanks to some AMAZING donations! 🙌

Pads and pantiliners are another story.

There are still a few pre-portioned baggies available in the Dignity Drawer right now, but we have ZERO pads or pantiliners in backstock to refill those bags when they're gone.

And with how quickly these supplies move, they won't last long.

💜 THE BEST WAY TO HELP US RIGHT NOW IS OUR AMAZON WISHLIST!

We've added the products we actually need, and Amazon sends them directly to us. It's one of the easiest and most helpful ways to keep TLRC stocked.

🛒 AMAZON WISHLIST:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14T3ROIBHRM5E?ref_=wl_share

Our biggest needs right now:

🩸 Pads — all sizes & absorbencies
🩸 Pantiliners
🍼 Diapers & Pull-ups — especially larger sizes
🧻 Wipes & other basic baby-care necessities

And here's another HUGE way you can help that doesn't require spending any money:

ASK AROUND!

Talk to your friends, neighbors, coworkers, parenting groups, family members, school groups, community organizations — anyone you know.

Ask if they have diapers, wipes or period products sitting around that they no longer need.

Baby outgrew a diaper size halfway through the box? We'll take them.

Potty trained with diapers left over? We'll take them.

Bought pads or pantiliners that weren't the right kind? We'll take them.

✨ OPENED PACKAGES ARE FINE! ✨

As long as the products themselves have remained clean and dry, they do NOT have to be in a sealed package.

You'd be amazed at how quickly collecting a few leftover diapers from one person, half a package from another, some pads from a coworker and wipes from a neighbor can turn into a significant donation.

You can even put a box out at your workplace, neighborhood gathering, school or community organization and do a little collection for TLRC. 💜

When we're distributing 500+ diapers EVERY WEEK and hundreds of period products, those half-packages and leftovers absolutely matter.

No applications. No income requirements. No judgment. Just access to basic necessities when someone needs them.

If you can purchase something, our Amazon Wishlist is the BEST way to get us exactly what we need.

If purchasing isn't an option, collect what people aren't using.

And if neither is possible right now, SHARE THIS POST.

Every single one of those things helps keep TLRC going. 💜

Opened the door after finishing my work day to abundance!

We received a good assortment of food items for the cabinet. I plan to make up snack bags for the kids if we get a few more snack items like applesauce or fruit cups! Thank you for helping us feed the community!

🚨 ARNOLD — OUR CABINET NEEDS SOME LOVE! 🚨

We’ve been moving through supplies quickly, and there are a few areas where TLRC Arnold could really use our community’s help right now.

🧷 DIAPERS
Today we only have sizes NB, 1, 2, and 5 available — and if you know our cabinet, you know those size 5s are going to go FAST.

Our biggest diaper needs right now:
• Sizes 3, 4, 5 & 6
• Pull-Ups/training pants

🍼 FORMULA
Good news! We’re actually doing really well on formula variety and stock right now. ❤️ If you're deciding where your donation dollars will make the biggest impact today, we'd love for you to focus on diapers, pantry food, personal care, and Dignity Drawer supplies.

🥫 OUR PANTRY IS ALMOST EMPTY
We have little to no pantry food available right now. Helpful shelf-stable donations include:

• Peanut butter & jelly
• Canned chicken or tuna
• Ravioli, SpaghettiOs, soups & chili
• Mac & cheese
• Pasta & pasta sauce
• Rice & instant potatoes
• Canned vegetables & fruit
• Applesauce cups/pouches
• Cereal & oatmeal
• Granola/snack bars
• Crackers & fruit snacks
• Individual snack packs
• Shelf-stable milk
• Easy, kid-friendly meals and snacks

🧴 PERSONAL CARE
We need individual or regular-sized:
• Shampoo & conditioner
• Body wash/soap
• Deodorant
• Toothpaste & toothbrushes
• Lotion
• Razors & shaving cream
• Hair brushes/combs
• Baby wash & lotion

🩸 DIGNITY DRAWER — ESPECIALLY TAMPONS!
We can always use:
• TAMPONS — BIG NEED
• Pads of all absorbencies
• Pantyliners
• Overnight pads

We are also completely OUT of sandwich- and quart-size storage baggies. We use these every day to divide Dignity Drawer products into individual portions so we're able to help more people.

❤️ WANT TO HELP?

🛒 Amazon Wishlist:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14T3ROIBHRM5E?ref_=wl_share

💙 Venmo:
💚 Cash App: $littleresourcecenter

Monetary donations allow us to purchase whatever the cabinet is running through the fastest, and even $5 or $10 helps us restock something.

You don't have to fill the cabinet yourself. Grab an extra box of pasta while grocery shopping. Send $5 toward a case of diapers. Add a box of tampons to your Amazon order. Small donations from a lot of people are what keep this resource available.

TLRC Arnold exists because our community continues to show up for one another. ❤️

Please SHARE this post, too! The person who can help us restock might simply need to see that we need them.

This tote isn’t even full… and right now, this is all we have to restock the TLRC Grab & Go Cabinet. ❤️

First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated and helped us get it this far! Every can, box, and shelf-stable item you see here came from people choosing to help another family in our community. We truly appreciate you.

But our cabinet gets used every single day, and food can disappear almost as quickly as we put it out.

🥫 We could really use help filling this tote!

We have several food items available on our Amazon Wishlist, or you can donate shelf-stable food items directly to our Arnold location anytime.

Some easy items that are always helpful:
• Canned soups & meals
• Pasta & pasta sauce
• Mac & cheese
• Ramen/noodles
• Canned vegetables & fruit
• Peanut butter
• Cereal & oatmeal
• Boxed meals & sides
• Stuffing, rice & potatoes
• Other easy, shelf-stable foods

No donation is too small. A couple cans from your pantry or a few extra items added to your grocery order can become dinner for a family who needs it. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who keeps helping us keep the cabinet stocked. Now let’s see if we can get this tote FULL! 🥫🛒❤️
