Our Story
Changing Lives, One Diaper at a Time
Our Mission
Cuddles & Coo is a family stabilization and maternal health organization that serves low-income families through essential diapering resources, mobile outreach, youth leadership development, and community-based support services.
Since our founding, we have partnered with local healthcare organizations, community groups, and generous donors to reach thousands of families.
Our Story
Where It All Began
DECEMBER 2024
Cuddles & Coo officially opened its doors, beginning with diaper distributions from a garage and a mission to help local families access essential baby supplies.
Our First Office
APRIL 2025
Growing community needs lead us into our first dedicated space to serve families more consistently. After quickly seeing the need in the community, Cuddles & Coo moved into its first small office space, creating a more consistent place for families to receive support.
Cuddles & Coo expanded into space at the Lexington Rescue Mission allowing us to increase storage, serve more families, welcome volunteers, and strengthen community partnerships.

The Problem

Of children under 3 in Kentucky live in families earning less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
Diaper need isn't covered by federal assistance — that's the gap we fill.
