What ilooklikeLOVE does

ilooklikeLOVE is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by Phillipa Williams to provide resources, relief, and empowerment education to vulnerable families with young children in Dallas County. The organization operates two core programs: a Mobile Diaper Pantry, recognized as the first in North Texas, which distributes diapers, formula, wipes, and baby essentials through community distribution events at WIC clinics, community centers, and churches; and EmpowerU, an 8-week cohort-based education program for first-time single mothers covering financial literacy, life skills, and workforce development, with graduates receiving a $300 baby bundle starter kit, a pack-and-play, and a 529K College Savings Plan through a partnership with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. Supporting these programs are emergency assistance referrals, Diaper Day distribution events, Global Baby Showers, Money Camp financial literacy sessions, ESL courses, and seasonal events such as Baby's First Christmas.

The organization is funded entirely through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, community donation drives, and event sponsorships; it does not charge fees to recipients and is not venture-backed. All services are provided free to eligible WIC/SNAP recipient families residing in Dallas County. Distribution occurs through mobile events and a fixed Oak Cliff pickup location, with eligibility verification including valid photo ID and proof of income. Since 2015, ilooklikeLOVE has distributed over 1.3 million diapers (98% to minority households) and supported over 400 mothers through EmpowerU. Its disaster response capability was demonstrated during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, when it distributed over 90,000 diapers and 2,000+ packages of wipes in six weeks through partnerships with food pantries, domestic violence shelters, and Dallas WIC.

The organization is governed by Founder Phillipa Williams and a four-person board led by Board Chair Jennifer Randall, with stated headcount of fewer than 10 employees. Operational footprint is concentrated in Dallas County, and growth is supported by recognition including the 2020 Quest for Success Award from the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, a 2021 gubernatorial appointment to the Texas Nonprofit Council, and the 2023 Candid Gold Seal of Transparency.
