JLC and TIDAL BABE PERIOD Bank:

Starting in the winter of 2016, JLC members conducted a thorough community needs assessment to identify and prioritize critical local issues that needed additional support in the Greater Cincinnati Community. After learning from nonprofit and business leaders what the needs were, the League initiated a request for proposal process. This RFP to partner with the JLC was issued to the public based on the results of the community needs assessment. Proposals were required to address the most pressing needs identified, and had to align with the mission of the JLC. After several rounds of review and a vote by JLC membership, the decision was made to partner with Tidal Babe Period Bank, a sister company to Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank.
