Our Mission
Baby's Bounty supports and empowers at-risk families by providing education and the essential tools to ensure a good start for every baby
Our History
Founder Kim Amato established Baby’s Bounty® in July 2008 after witnessing firsthand the impact of homelessness on families with young children. Concerned about newborns leaving the hospital without the basic supplies necessary for their health, safety, and well-being, Kim began researching the scope of the problem. Hospital staff and Clark County caseworkers confirmed that many families were being discharged without essential items such as clothing, diapers, a safe car seat, and a crib.
Kim began collecting these necessities and assembling Baby Bundles from her living room, and Baby’s Bounty was born.
Today, after 18 years of service, Baby’s Bounty has grown into a statewide resource for Nevada families.
In addition to its Baby Bundle Program, the organization operates recurring diaper banks in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno/Sparks, as well as Mobile Diaper Banks serving rural communities throughout Clark County.
In 2023, Baby’s Bounty expanded its mission with the launch of Diapers for Diplomas, an initiative developed in partnership with Nevada’s higher education institutions to make college more accessible for parenting students. By providing a reliable supply of diapers and wipes, the program addresses a significant basic-needs expense for student parents, helping them direct limited financial resources toward housing, food, childcare, transportation, tuition, and other costs associated with remaining in school and completing a degree.
Our Vision
Baby’s Bounty envisions a Nevada where every family has what they need to give their baby a safe, healthy start - and where no parent is forced to choose between diapers and food, or diapers and a diploma. We see a future built on strong community partnerships, expanded diaper bank access across Southern and Northern Nevada, and pathways that help parenting students complete their education and build lasting economic stability. As we grow, we envision Baby’s Bounty recognized nationally as a model for how basic-needs support can break cycles of poverty and open doors to opportunity for the next generation.
What We Do
Diapers for Diplomas
We know for sure that when parents are forced to choose between diapers and tuition, diapers will win every single time. The Diapers for Diplomas Program is an initiative created to take that choice off the table. Students who are also parents often need help to return to higher education to gain new skills, complete a degree or credential in order to have opportunities for meaningful, long-term career choices, and advance in the workplace.
Parenting students enrolled at one of our partnering NSHE institutions (UNLV, UNR, NSC, CSN, TMCC, DRI, GBC) and Touro University can apply to receive free diapering supplies for a full calendar year.
Baby Bundle
Our Baby Bundles are truly a "Baby Shower-In-A-Bag!" Each bundle includes a portable crib with a safe sleep kit, an infant regulation car seat, a bathtub, clothing, towels, washcloths, sleepsacks, receiving blankets, bibs, a baby book, a toiletry kit including baby wash, baby lotion, diaper cream, diapers and wipes. We also offer breast feeding items or formula by request.
Our Safe Sleep and Baby Basics class is a critical component of our program and is required in order to qualify for a baby bundle. We discuss important topics such as safe sleep practices, SIDS prevention, basic infant care, the importance of self-care, symptoms of postpartum depression and much more.
We have provided over 12,000 clients with the tools and education to empower them to take the best possible care of their newborn.
Diaper Banks
Our recurring Diaper Banks in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Northern Nevada were created out of the tremendous need that we saw as a result of the pandemic.
Since May of 2020, we have distributed 7 million diapers and 14 million wipes to 45,000 families in Nevada. Diaper Bank attendees report that without the support, some of them would have to make the heartbreaking choice between buying diapers and buying food.
Recently proclaimed by the City of Las Vegas and the Governor of Nevada, we are the ONLY consistent diaper bank resource in Nevada.

Diapers for Disasters
Baby's Bounty is proud to provide relief efforts to people experiencing diaper need due to natural disasters, conflict or displacement. When times are uncertain for families, we are committed to working with partner agencies on the front lines to get help where it's needed, whether domestically or internationally. We strive to serve as many families and children in need as possible and help where we can, when we can.
"I am a 25 year old student at UNLV and a mother of three beautiful children. I would like to comment how I was inspired by your mission helping impoverished families who have just been gifted the most precious thing they'll ever be given, a baby. I had my daughter at 16 and was homeless. The feeling of hopelessness like I experienced should not be in the minds of mothers but instead should be enjoying the blessing they've just received. Thank you for all that you do!"
