Zosephine Diaper Bags Gives Back

Owner of trendy diaper bag company, Maria Winslow, has announced a partnership with the National Domestic Violence Hotline to donate 10% of sales to the national organization. “Business and charity can exist in partnership to make the world a better place,” Winslow said.

Beginning immediately, 10% of sales of Zosephine diaper bags will be donated to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, a non-profit organization that provides crisis intervention, information and referral to victims of domestic violence, perpetrators, friends and families. “We are excited about this partnership with Maria and Zosephine diaper bags,” said Hotline CEO Sheryl Cates. “This project is an excellent example of how business and individuals can make a difference in the fight against domestic violence.”

Winslow, inspired by a friend’s ambitious fundraising in honor of Nancy Cooper, commits money to help victims escape domestic violence. When Nancy was murdered before she could leave her abusive husband, Winslow was shocked and saddened, but didn’t know what to do to help other women in similar situations until she got the inspiration to use her business to help the cause. “It’s still a shock that someone I know was murdered before she could leave an abusive relationship”, says Winslow, “and it made me realize that if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone. I’m proud to have this opportunity to support the important work of the National Domestic Violence hotline.”
