The Naturalena Foundation: Empowering Communities Through othercare and the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank

 

The Naturalena Foundation is proud to support and oversee two vital community initiatives — othercare and the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank (HLSDB) — which operate as Doing Business As (DBA) entities under the Foundation’s nonprofit umbrella.

 

Through these organizations, we provide essential services, resources, and support to individuals and families in Houston who are facing challenges in their daily lives.

 

Together, they represent our ongoing commitment to creating healthier, more resilient communities for those in need.

othercare: A philanthropic marketplace

​

othercare, a philanthropic marketplace and DBA of the Naturalena Foundation, is designed to connect individuals, families, and communities with essential resources through a collaborative, community-driven platform. This initiative serves as a marketplace where donations, services, and community support converge to meet the diverse needs of vulnerable populations in Houston.

​

Through othercare, the Naturalena Foundation offers consumers the opportunity to give back directly through their purchases. 5% of every sale is donated directly into the Foundation’s programs, which help support families, children, and seniors in need across Houston. Additionally, othercare introduces a Buy One, Give One purchasing option, allowing consumers to contribute products directly to those in need. For every product purchased, another is donated to help provide essential resources such as diapers and wellness products to vulnerable individuals and families. This model empowers consumers to make a direct impact, fostering a community-driven approach to philanthropy that ensures products and resources reach those who need them most.

​

The philanthropic marketplace model empowers families and individuals to access a variety of services in one convenient location, while also providing opportunities for local businesses, organizations, and individuals to contribute to the well-being of their neighbors. As part of the Naturalena Foundation, othercare helps bridge gaps in access to essential resources, promoting wellness and dignity across the Houston area.

Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank: A Vital Resource for Houston Families

​

The Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank (HLSDB) also operates as a DBA of the Naturalena Foundation. HLSDB’s mission is to provide diapers and other essential supplies to families in Houston who are experiencing financial hardship. Diapers are often an overlooked yet critical expense that many families struggle to afford, which can negatively impact the health and well-being of children and seniors.

​

By offering this crucial support, the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank helps alleviate the burden on parents and caregivers, ensuring that babies and children have access to the basic hygiene products they need to thrive. As part of the Naturalena Foundation, HLSDB continues to grow and expand, ensuring that more families in the Houston area receive the assistance they need during challenging times.

​

A Unified Mission for Long-Term Change

The work of other are and the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank, both DBAs of the Naturalena Foundation, reflects a unified mission to provide sustainable solutions to the pressing needs of the Houston community. Through these initiatives, we aim to eliminate disparities in access to essential resources and support, ensuring that all families have the opportunity to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
