www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Evan Martin walked around a table with his father, Nathan, going station-to-station collecting hygiene products and putting them in a compact box. That box would soon go to a single mother in metro Atlanta, providing her with at least temporary relief by checking off a few items from a lengthy list of needs.
Nathan and Evan were two of roughly 100 volunteers stuffing care packages at Helping Mamas’ headquarters in Norcross on Martin Luther King Day. Some volunteers packed children’s clothes, others packed diapers.
Helping Mamas was founded by Jamie Lackey, a social worker by profession, in 2014. Helping Mamas is a baby bank, the only nonprofit organization in Georgia that focuses solely on providing baby supplies. Helping Mamas also provides maternity clothes and feminine products, but primarily distributes items to children from birth to age 12.
