Findlay Automotive Supports Baby’s Bounty

Findlay Automotive Supports Baby’s Bounty

Parenthood is exhilarating, exhausting, and often expensive. Ensuring that a family has the essentials when bringing a baby home can be overwhelming for those who struggle to make ends meet. Kim Amato witnessed the fear and frustration of many of these families and saw first-hand the long term impact this had on the children of low-income families. As a result Amato established Baby’s Bounty in July of 2008. The mission of Baby’s Bounty is to offer both the “Baby Bundle” and to provide parent empowerment through education. Baby’s Bounty offers numerous classes including, “Our Safe Sleep” and “Baby Basics” classes, both sponsored by REMSA. Baby’s Bounty also offers class that empower teen parents to take the best possible care of their newborn as well as have a safe place to discuss critical issues. After
completing these classes the mother will receive the Bundle, which is essentially a baby shower in a bag. Each bundle includes items necessary for a newborn’s health, safety, and well-being. Baby’s Bounty maintains various “diaper banks” throughout the valley, created to address the tremendous need.

The Findlay Automotive Group is honored to support such a noble organization and help reach its goals. Findlay’s Tyler Corder said, “We love the mission of Baby’s Bounty to help low-income mothers with resources to care for their newborn infants. Every child deserves a good start in life and Baby’s Bounty works hard to make that a reality.”

After dealing with the global pandemic the nation quickly turned its eyes to the war in Ukraine. Kelly Maxwell, Baby’s Bounty’s Executive Director, said, “We were all in our office watching the news as that Ukrainian maternity hospital was being bombed. We were horrified and felt helpless.” She continued, “I thought to myself, we should send them diapers! These families left their homes with the clothes on their back and a suitcase. I assumed that diapers weren’t the priority over family heirlooms, medication, etc. I knew we needed to help.” The Baby’s Bounty organization got to work and started a Ukraine diaper bank here in Nevada and teamed up with Convoy of Hope to distribute the large quantity of diapers to the mothers in need across Ukraine.

Since May 2020, the Baby’s Bounty organization has distributed over 1.3 million diapers and 3.7 million wipes to over 25,000 families in need in Southern Nevada. Volunteers at the diaper banks have reported that without the work of Baby’s Bounty and contributions from places like the Findlay Automotive Group, some families
would have to make the heartbreaking choice between buying diapers and buying food.

Maxwell said, “The donation we received from the Findlay Automotive Group is incredible. The impact of that donation is going to help so many families in Southern Nevada. We are so grateful for their support.”

The Findlay Automotive Group is proud to support organizations like Baby’s Bounty and looks forward to working together to improve the lives of mothers and children across Southern Nevada.
