In a month, Infant Crisis Services fed and diapered 1,008 babies and toddlers. 347 were less than seven months old, 371 were over 12 months and 80 were between 7 to 12 months. 645 of the mothers/fathers who came to get services were single parents and 252 were married. Out of the 1,008 only 138 had jobs.
We don't ask why people are in the situations they are in. Sometimes they offer up the information and share their story, but at the end of the day the reason we exist is to help the babies. Those 1,008 babies got to go to bed with a full tummy and a dry tushie.

No Baby Should Go Hungry...
About Me
- Infant Crisis Services
- Infant Crisis Services believes every baby and toddler deserves life’s basic necessities. With the help of the community, Infant Crisis Services supplies life-sustaining formula and food as well as diapers and clothing for babies and toddlers in times of crisis. It is hard to imagine that in today's society there are babies and toddlers who go to bed hungry, yet it happens every day right here in Oklahoma. Our state has the 8th highest incidence of childhood poverty in the U.S. Infant Crisis Services serves more than 1,000 babies and toddlers in central Oklahoma each month. Infant Crisis Services is bridging the gap in current services. Government programs like WIC and DHS often require waiting periods of up to several weeks during a critical time in a baby’s development and don’t provide diapers or certain medically prescribed formulas.
