Infant Crisis Services

Infant Crisis Services is an Oklahoma City nonprofit that provides emergency supplies for the youngest children, from birth through age four. It hands out formula, baby food, diapers, and clothing at its OKC location and through its traveling BabyMobile.

What it offers

• Emergency formula and baby food for infants and toddlers
• Diapers and clothing for children from birth through age four
• The BabyMobile, which brings supplies to surrounding communities
• Immediate, short-notice help for families in a bind
• Basic essentials that many broader programs do not cover

Who it is for

The service is for families with children from birth through age four who urgently need basic baby supplies. Because help is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, it works well for parents facing a sudden shortage of formula or diapers between paychecks. It fills a gap that food assistance programs often miss, since items like diapers and formula can be hard to obtain elsewhere. Families outside the city may be able to meet the BabyMobile closer to home.

Getting started

Families can visit during service hours, book an appointment, or meet the BabyMobile at a scheduled community stop. Calling ahead helps confirm hours and, for those outside Oklahoma City, the BabyMobile route for the week. Staff aim to get essentials into a parent hands quickly, so reaching out at the first sign of need is encouraged rather than waiting until supplies run out entirely.

What to bring and what to expect

Because help is provided first-come, first-served, families should not wait until supplies run out entirely; reaching out at the first sign of need is encouraged. Calling ahead helps confirm current service hours and, for those outside Oklahoma City, the BabyMobile route for the week so a family knows where and when to meet it.

Parents can expect the essentials that many broader programs do not cover, including formula, baby food, diapers, and clothing for children from birth through age four. Staff aim to get supplies into a parent’s hands quickly, so the visit is focused on immediate relief rather than a lengthy process.

This help pairs well with WIC and food assistance, which do not always cover items like diapers, so families can lean on it to fill the gaps between paychecks. Households with more than one young child in range can ask about supplies for each, and calling ahead is the surest way to confirm hours and what to bring on the day. Parents who are unsure whether they qualify are encouraged to reach out anyway, since the focus is on getting essentials to a child quickly rather than putting families through a long screening.

To sum up, the service is for families with children from birth through age four who urgently need basic baby supplies, and help is provided first-come, first-served. Reaching it is simple: a family can visit during service hours, book an appointment, or meet the BabyMobile at a scheduled community stop, and calling (405) 528-3663 ahead confirms the current service hours and, for those outside Oklahoma City, the BabyMobile route for the week. Parents unsure whether they qualify are encouraged to reach out anyway, since the focus is on getting essentials to a child quickly. The phone line and official site are the best places to confirm when the OKC location is open before making the trip.
