LeeAnn started the organization in her home back in 2014, and now they operate out of a 5,000 square foot warehouse and serve residents of SEVEN COUNTIES in Central Illinois. Even though Loving Bottoms is a diaper bank\u2014a hub for diaper distribution\u2014the organization also provides a variety of basic necessities such as period supplies, incontinence supplies, and wipes to those in need. Why is LeeAnn so passionate about diapers, you ask? Well, it goes back to a time when her world had turned upside down and LeeAnn found herself in a place she\u2019d never been...making choices she never thought she\u2019d ever have to make. You will be inspired by LeeAnn\u2019s story. It took a lot of grit and determination to rebuild her life. It wasn't long until she knew she had to help others who face similar challenges. And that's when the idea of a nonprofit burst in and said, "Start a diaper bank!" I can\u2019t wait for you to meet LeeAnn and hear how she\u2019s helping her community (and surrounding communities) by providing what they need when and where they need it. If you listen to the whole episode, you\u2019ll hear about the most creative and fun fundraising idea I\u2019ve heard about in a super long time. When she explained it, I was like, \u201cSign me up!\u201d and \u201cTake my money!\u201d Yes, it\u2019s that good, and you could totally adapt it to a virtual fundraiser if needed. Enjoy this interview with the lovely and tenacious LeeAnn Porter, founder and Executive Director of Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank. https:\/\/yournonprofitlife.com\/s2ep13-leeann-porter\/ ","author_name":"Your Nonprofit Life","author_url":"https:\/\/yournonprofitlife.com","html":"
