Meet Katie.

Mum first, — and more recently, the founder Birth & Baby Community Cupboards, a mum-led initiative supporting young parents across the Fraser Coast.

I am lucky enough to have a constant flow of quality hand me downs — barely worn clothes, wraps, prams, feeding supplies for my babies.

But in my very neighbourhood, in our Fraser Coast community, there are mums deeply worried about affording baby basics, and how theyre going to keep their babies dressed. There are babies going without basics.

But I’ve realised - there is no shortage of baby goods. The amount of baby items in our community that have barely been used is monumental.

The issue is access and community. Because when you have a mum community, you don’t buy everything. You share. You pass things on. You say, “Don’t buy that — I’ve got one, you can have it.”

The Community Cupboard creates that community.

We collect quality donated baby goods and redistribute them — completely free — to the mums who need them. No forms. No referrals. No gatekeeping.

And it’s working. Our community of mums is showing up in a big way. What I need now is support to scale. And to ensure this can reach every young parent who needs it — not just the ones who happen to know me or see my posts on social media.

I believe in my soul that no mum should feel alone in the hardest season of her life. I believe that the weight of motherhood is made so much lighter with community connection and that as mums most of us have an inherent and deep rooted desire to support one another.
