On Monday, Governor Sisolak granted $201,802 to Baby's Bounty, a charity that supports and empower at-risk families by providing education and the essential tools to for babies.
Baby's Bounty has been proclaimed by the City of Las Vegas as the only consistent diaper resource in all of Southern Nevada. According to their website, they have distributed over 1.2 million diapers and 3.5 million wipes to over 20,000 needy families in Southern Nevada since May 2020, which was around the start of the pandemic.
Governor Sisolak said at a press conference, "They've embarked on providing not just diapers but other supplies to families that otherwise don't have them. I mean everything from clothing to baby crib to car seats, to wipes to lotion, to books about how to keep babies safe, so it's an incredible operation they have here."
The money comes from the state's $30 million community recovery grant program, which is funded by pandemic relief dollars.
