About Us
In February 2022, our country was already grappling with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic when another crisis struck - a shortage of baby formula in the U.S. This shortage was caused by a recall, and it affected parents across the country, particularly single parents who were already struggling with the challenges of work, childcare, homeschooling, and protecting their families from COVID.
To help these single parents, a retired Air Force veteran, Betty Dudley, Lt Colonel, put herself in their shoes and decided to take action. She founded Bee's Babies Essentials, Inc. in August 2022 to support single parents who were facing a variety of challenges, including caring for disabled children, dealing with sickness, homelessness, and abuse, and struggling to achieve financial independence.
Through Bee's Babies Essentials, Inc., Betty aims to provide these parents with the tools, resources, and support they need to overcome these challenges and create a healthy, nurturing environment for their children. Her goal is to help these families build a brighter future for themselves and their children.
