It was great to see young people interested in maternal health. We didn’t have any goodies or giveaways, but they were like magnets to the information. They truly had the chance to grasp what a doula is and what it takes to support a pregnant family.
They initiated conversations around reproductive justice and raised concerns about the need for s*x education resources. Listen—our children are aware of what they need. They know they are the blueprint for our future. We have to create the stepping stones for them. That’s one of the reasons Birth Culture exists.

We have 7 slots available for full scholarships. Sign up today!

Thank you !

The Health Education and Training Center of Gainesville, Inc. (H.E.A.T.), in partnership with Humana, Inc., the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, and the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area, Walmart, is proud to stand with parents and caregivers by providing free diapers to families in need. Together, we’re addressing diaper insecurity and building a stronger, more compassionate community.

Why Free Diapers Matter:

Easing Financial Strain — Diapers are expensive and not covered by most assistance programs. Our support helps ease the burden.

Empowering Parents — Dignity begins with access to essentials. Every diaper given is a step toward a healthier, more hopeful future.

Strengthening Communities — When we meet basic needs, we create resilience, connection, and care.

Upcoming Distribution Details:

Location: Clarence R. Kelly Center

Date: Saturday, December 20, 2025

Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

What to Know:

Diapers available in sizes 1–6 (while supplies last)

First-come, first-served — arrive early

Questions? Call or text 352-448-1190

Since October 2023:

150,000+ diapers distributed across Gainesville & Greater Duval

770+ families registered for ongoing support

Tap the link in our bio to register and join our growing community of care. Together, we’re making a difference—one diaper at a time.

Another mother gave birth to the doula by her side who would have otherwise had no one there to support her. My student and I are grateful to be part of her story. And so honored to be invited to cut the cord. Welcome to the earth side baby L! We love that your story has started so beautifully. 💙
