Our Mission

Hettie’s Hope Chest is a nonprofit organization providing diapers to families in need who live in the Penn Manor School District. Imagine, you’ve just changed your child's diaper and within minutes you know the diaper needs to be changed again. Cost could influence choices that could impact the health of the child. Free diapers contribute to the well being of both Parent and Child. The simple solution is free diapers.
