ABOUT HUM
Huddle Up Moms began in Southwest Virginia with the mission of empowering mothers through education, connection, and support.
We aim to fuel meaningful connections within our community by working collaboratively with other organizations that promote women’s health and wellness. We believe that all mothers deserve to flourish in all aspects of their lives.

Help us build the first and only official diaper bank in Southwest Virginia.
Through the Project H.U.D.D.L.E. campaign, we are seeking donations and community support to meet the growing demand for diapers and other essential supplies in the region by becoming established as Southwest Virginia’s first and only certified Diaper Bank.
Diapers, costing $100 per month per child, constitute 15% of families' budgets. National statistics reveal that 28% of Virginia families skip meals to afford diapers, and 1/3 of Southwest VA families endure diaper poverty.
Many Roanoke families teeter on the poverty line and are ineligible for government aid. Traditionally, non-profits and diaper banks bridge this gap, but currently Roanoke lacks this resource, leaving over 700,000 residents over 2 hours from the nearest diaper bank.
Our current Support Shop assists over 125 mothers monthly, but the need far surpasses our capacity.
To meet this demand, HUM is hoping to raise $120,000 for an initial bulk diaper purchase, association fees, one year of storage/facility capacity, and shelving.
