At Easterns Automotive Group, giving back to the community is part of who we are. Through FOX 5 DC’s Pay It Forward segment, we had the opportunity to recognize an organization doing critical work for families across our region: Bless Provisions Inc.
Founded by Priscilla Mau, Blessed Provisions is a nonprofit dedicated to fighting hygiene poverty by providing essential items like diapers, wipes, and menstrual hygiene products to families in need.
Priscilla’s journey to launching Blessed Provisions started with a simple desire to help. During the pandemic, she organized virtual diaper drives through her local ministry to support families facing hardship. After stepping away from her government role and pursuing doula training, she discovered there were no longer active diaper banks serving her county.
With her background in public health, she saw a clear need and stepped in to fill it.
“Blessed Provisions is a labor of love,” Priscilla shared during the segment.
Today, Blessed Provisions operates through a community-driven donation model, collecting supplies through local drop-off partners and distributing them to community organizations and families facing urgent need.
But for Priscilla, this work is about more than supplies.
She regularly meets mothers experiencing emergencies firsthand, including parents who have completely run out of diapers and need immediate help. One recent story that stayed with her involved a mother recently impacted by federal job cuts who found it difficult to ask for assistance.
Priscilla’s message was simple but powerful: seasons change, and no one should feel ashamed for needing support.
The reality is staggering. According to Blessed Provisions, one in two families struggles to afford enough diapers for their children, making diaper need a hidden but very real crisis affecting families every day.
To help support this mission, Easterns Automotive Group proudly presented Blessed Provisions with a $2,200 donation during the FOX 5 DC Pay It Forward segment.
The donation will help fund essential hygiene supplies and move Priscilla closer to an exciting next goal: launching a mobile diaper bank that can bring resources directly to families facing transportation barriers.
Meeting families where they are can make all the difference, and we’re honored to play a small role in helping that vision become reality.
At Easterns, we believe strong communities are built by people who show up for one another, and Blessed Provisions is doing exactly that.
Thank you to FOX 5 DC for highlighting organizations making a real impact, and thank you to Priscilla Mau and Blessed Provisions for the life-changing work you do every day.
