The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given hundreds of diaper packages to a charity that helps pregnant women who are homeless.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave a large number of Pampers newborn diapers to Harvest Home as part of the company’s Million Acts of Love Campaign, according to the charity’s Instagram account. The charity posted a picture of a large number of diaper packages with a message praising the Sussexes for their generosity. Harvest Home is a nonprofit organization that helps homeless pregnant women in and around Los Angeles get back on their feet by providing for them and their children.

Pallets and pallets of diapers… we are so grateful! These diapers recently arrived at our new Pico-Robertson Home and we could not be more thankful to the Archewell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and @proctergamble and @pampersus for the incredible donation through their Million Acts of Love Campaign. Thank you [for] helping us ensure that our moms and babies have all they need in our homes!” read the heartfelt remark.

The Archewell Foundation, the philanthropic arm of their Archewell media and nonprofit company, made another surprise gift to the charity on Mother’s Day in May. The donation was made when Meghan was pregnant with their daughter, Lilibet, giving the cause much more weight. Meghan sent a statement after making the gift, explaining why she chose to support Harvest Home.

Harvest Home helps homeless pregnant women who have nowhere else to turn with case management, counseling, parenting courses, and more.

Harvest Home’s residential program assists up to 30 women and their families each year.

“As a mom, and an expectant mom, I deeply appreciate the significance of community support, safe and accessible pregnancy resources, and trusted guidance in a nurturing setting,” Meghan wrote at the time. “These ingredients are essential to not just our physical health, but our mental well-being, and I commend you for leading a compassionate community that lives these values.

“Thank you for all you do for the women and mothers who are turned away elsewhere, at no fault of their own,” she continued. “When we consider how vulnerable any mother feels during the fragile time of pregnancy, we gain perspective about how especially difficult it can be for pregnant women of color and those who come from under-resourced and vulnerable communities. I hope you will accept an offer of support to help further uplift Harvest Home’s residents.”

Harvest Home is presently constructing a second facility that will house up to 18 women and their children.

The delivery was made possible by the Sussexes’ collaboration with Procter & Gamble, which has committed to a multi-year worldwide engagement with the business. This is the first project from the agreement, which was unveiled in May.

The Sussexes’ relationship with Procter & Gamble is a full circle moment for Meghan, who wrote to the company when she was 11 years old to complain about sexism in a dish soap ad that featured the phrase “Mothers around America are fighting greasy pots and pans.”

It comes after the Duchess of Sussex revealed her plans to ‘create and produce’ an animated Netflix series about a ’12-year-old heroine who finds inspiration in influential women in history.’
