2019 MOM Foundation Calendar is Available

by Glenni Lorick, IBCLC

Are you looking for the perfect gift for a new mom, your favorite OB or your doula? Look no further! The gorgeous 2019 MOM Foundation Calendar is now available to order for a donation of just $20! Order two or more, and they are just $18.50 each.

Area photographers submit some of their best breastfeeding photographs of the year to use in this annual fund-raiser for the MOM Foundation. Some of the photographers featured this year include well-known North Alabama names like MaryEllen Pollard of LighthousePhotography, Allison Jansen, Keelan Walker, Kat Parker, Amanda Whitley and Jennifer Myers. We have a total of 12 photographers who have generously provided breathtakingly beautiful images for this year's calendar! The proceeds allow the MOM Foundation to continue its work with low-income and teen moms. In 2018 we have served over 100 mothers with our various projects.

Many mothers have benefited from our sliding fee scale for Lactation Consultations, paying as little as just $5 for professional breastfeeding support. These mothers are able to come back as often as necessary at no additional cost for weight checks and additional help. We also have at least 10 mothers who have been able to rent a hospital-grade breast pump for half price. About 20 mothers have received free nursing bras through our Bosom Buddies program which provides 2 free gently used nursing bras every 6 months to teen moms and mothers on the WIC program in the last trimester of pregnancy and as long as they are breastfeeding.

Our other big project is the North Alabama Cloth Diaper Bank. About 60 mothers this year have received loans of cloth diapers. These loans offer a sustainable alternative to continually buying disposable diapers. Cory Ann and Sarah, our volunteer coordinators have done an amazing job educating mothers about cloth diaper usage and meeting the needs of mothers all across North Alabama.

The MOM Foundation Calendar is our primary annual fund-raiser, so we encourage those who have the means to support our amazing work with moms to buy several calendars - one for yourself and 2 or 3 to give as gifts. The PreSale will last through the end of November. The Calendars will be here by the second week of December, and the donation will be $25 each.
