Keeping Families Covered

About

Keeping Families Covered is a non-for profit organization in Illinois that provides hygiene products for every age and stage of life. We distribute diapers, period products, and incontinence supplies through community partners and direct service.

CEO & Founder Ann Marie Mathis:

As a mother of 7, Ann Marie understands the challenge of caring for young children and yourself. That challenge is compounded when individuals and families struggle to access, and afford, necessities like diapers and period supplies. Armed with a M.S. and B.S. in organizational leadership, and over 20 years of corporate experience, she started Keeping Families Covered in an effort to make a difference and provide support to people in crisis, ensuring that essentials like diapers and period products were available to those who needed them most.

We distribute products through two channels: a network of community partners and direct service. We provide assistance to individuals and families in need throughout northern Illinois.

Our community partners submit orders to us on behalf of those they serve and we fill them. Orders are picked up at our office by the agency and they handle the distribution to the families.

Direct service is available to individuals and families through our mobile pantry. To qualify, individuals/families cannot be receiving the same products from other agencies and must complete our online registration form. Identification and documentation is required for individuals, parents/guardians, and children.
