There is also a program called WIC (Women, Infant, Children). It is a federal program that provides income-based food to mothers and children. My sister worked for them for many years.
As for the diapers, I'm sure there are places that can help. Start with the state Department of Family Services, Child Protective Services, etc. (The exact name varies state to state, but it's something similar to that.)
But, I have to say this as well: disposable diapers and jars of baby food are expensive. And, quite frankly, luxuries. Cloth diapers are so much cheaper, not to mention so much better for the environment. Babies thrive off the same food the adults eat, simply mashed. When my son was a baby, as a single parent, I couldn't afford jars of baby food and disposable diapers, either. I found the much cheaper alternatives, and managed on my own.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
