Infant Pantry Makes Impact on a Diverse Group of Mt. Pleasant Mothers

Being a mother can be one of the most challenging jobs in the life of a woman. To make ends meet, many mothers take on multiple jobs and responsibilities. The William Ellis Brockman Infant Pantry is serving mothers in need of assistance by providing the necessary resources needed to feed and clean their babies. In 2018, the pantry served 2,062 babies, a 21.5% increase from 2017.

Donation to the Infant Pantry

The Infant Pantry serves a diverse population of mothers. Mothers from six countries other than the United States are often served at the pantry. The Women’s Initiative Fund provided funding for diapers and food for babies. The Pantry distributes diapers (the most used item), pull-ups, wipes, and formula to families in need. Last December, families were thrilled to also receive books, stuffed animals, toys, blankets, hats, booties, bibs, and personal household care items from the William Ellis Brockman Infant Pantry at a holiday giveaway.

These items and resources are what makes the William Ellis Brockman Infant Pantry so welcoming and important to many mothers in the area.
