1 in 2 young families in the U.S. cannot afford enough diapers to keep their infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. We believe clean diapers are as essential to a little one's well-being as food and shelter.
The “Silent Crisis” of diaper need
Diaper need is a growing problem in our country. And it’s a little known fact that federal food programs such as SNAP and WIC don’t cover the cost of disposable diapers.
Without clean diapers:
Babies are exposed to potential health risks and require more trips to the pediatrician.
Parents are unable to access child care, which requires a daily supply of diapers.
Parents miss work or school, fueling even more financial stress for the family.
“Thank you for the diapers I received for my daughter Miranda. It is a great help during this difficult time.”
-Maria Alvarez
