Miracle Diapers Is Now The Cloth Diaper Foundation
empowering families, improving the environment
As Miracle Diapers has grown so has the number of families they assist. In 2009, they helped over 450 babies directly, more than 100 babies through sponsorship and local distribution, and assisted other charities with the same mission as well!
To better serve those families Miracle Diapers reaccessed it’s structure and practices. They have:
• New leadership with Roxanna Jolly—CEO and Lisa Johnston—Operations Manager and Board Chair
• Relocated their headquarters to Katy, Texas
• Restructured how they process and accept applications
• Opened a retail store for fundraising
• Founded a new membership program
• Welcomed several new board members from the cloth diapering industry
In it’s fifth year Miracle Diapers wants to continue moving forward and has decided to take on a new name that better describes the organization and it’s mission.
Miracle Diapers is now The Cloth Diaper Foundation.
“We felt that a more appropriate name would help the community have a better understanding of who we are, as we have often been mistaken for a diaper manufacturer. Our desire to move forward and build a legacy of support for the cloth diapering community will be reflected in our new name: The Cloth Diaper Foundation.”
-Roxanna Jolly, CEO, The Cloth Diaper Foundation
Monetary donations fell last year do to the economy. Which means there are more families out there for The Cloth Diaper Foundation to help! While diaper donations are always appreciated, we must be able to financially support organizational growth. Let’s make this happen together and spread the CD love.

Addendum to Press Release: To assist in fund raising efforts, in the month of February, Tracy Whittemore and Lisa Adkins from The Cloth Diaper Company have so graciously offered to match, product for product, each Cloth Diaper Company product sold (Drybees, Wahmies, Rocky Mountain Diapers) in The Cloth Diaper Foundation Retail Store with an equal donation to our organization. (Example – Purchase a Rocky Mountain Diapers OS Pocket, CDC will donate our organization a RMD OS Pocket, Drybees for Drybees, etc.)

You’ve made it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now New Years without comprimising your green values. So, how do you have an earth-friendly Valentine’s Day? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Purchase recycled or tree-free cards.
- Have your children make homemade cards from recycled paper, construction paper, old magazines, etc. Cards made with a child’s creativity are always treasured items.
- Your child can make treat bags for her friends at school. Cut pink, red, or white tulle into squares. Lay flat. Place a small pile of candies or treats in the center of the square. Pull up the sides and tie with a ribbon.
- Recycle empty glass jars into a teachers’ gifts. Fill the jar with chocolate, candy, or homemade cookies. Cover the lid with scrap fabric, add a hand-printed label (in your child’s handwriting is even better) and you’re done!
- Give Green Flowers- order your Sweetie’s flowers through suppliers who offer organic options. Look for the VeriFlora seal, which indicates sustainable growth.
- Buy Organic Chocolate – There’s no need to give up chocolate completely. Organic chocolate is pure, rich, and delicious!
- Give natural, organic bath and body products to the spa lover in your life.
- Make a special dinner at home, instead of heading out to a busy, expensive restaurant.
- Plan a family outing. Whether it’s a trip to the park or zoo, or a drive to explore a new area, a special trip will make Valentine’s Day memorable for the whole family.
What’s your family’s favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s Day?
