Combatting the Diaper Crisis: A Conversation with Lindsay Gill, Founder of The Napkin Network | Ep 77

The Truman Charities Podcast

Join me on a compelling journey with Lindsay Gill, a devoted mother, and founder of The Napkin Network. With a history of a successful TV production career and leading a military nonprofit, Lindsay is a force to be reckoned with. She takes us through her inspiring story of switching gears and creating The Napkin Network, a beacon of hope for local moms struggling with affording diapers and baby essentials. Yes, you heard that right, the diaper crisis is real and it's affecting one in three families, a fact that's bound to leave you astounded.
Brace yourselves as we delve deeper into the reality of the formula shortage crisis. Our dynamic guest, Lindsay, illuminates us on this startling issue that took off shortly after the birth of her third child. With unwavering determination and relentless advocacy, Lindsay has kept the conversation going, from starting formula drives to confronting Congressmen at her son's birthday party. And the fight isn't over. Lindsay also gives us a look into how we can lend a hand to The Napkin Network, and her vision of a close-knit community of mothers. Finally, we get a sneak peek into their current project, the Montgomery Mall Pantry, a testament to the power of collective action.
Join us at the next Truman Charities Bethesda's Best Happy Hour on July 13th from 5 to 8 PM! We’ll be holding a diaper drive for The Napkin Network, and collecting donations that will directly benefit the foundation.

The event will be hosted at our favorite spot, Tommy Joe’s, and space is limited, so be sure to register by emailing [e-mail] to reserve your spot. If you can’t attend but would still like to donate, tune in to find out how!
