Our warehouse stock is depleting: we need help to meet demand! 1 in 3 families experience diaper need we are here to change that. Our Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank and National Diaper Bank provide diapers to partners all across the country. By hosting a diaper drive you will provide families in need access to diapers to keep babies clean, dry, and healthy.
1 in 3 of American families with young children are unable to afford the diaper supplies need to keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy. This public health issue is know as 'diaper need' - this is what Jake's is aiming to change! Our Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank and National Diaper Bank provide diapers to partner agencies all across the country who are serving individuals and families with obtaining the basic hygiene products they need.
When it comes to sourcing hygiene items, we are members of the National Diaper Bank Network where we receive literal semi-truck loads of diapers - but certain sizes are difficult to secure. Specifically, size 6 Diapers and 4T/5T pull ups are difficult to source and stock. We receive far fewer donations of these items, and the cost to purchase on our own is greater than other diaper sizes. Your donation will stock our warehouse with size 6 Diapers and 4T/5T pull ups.
As our partner organizations in the United States continue to have their diaper needs solved, they are able to save funds and plan for future improvements as part of hurricane recovery and rebuilding. This can mean adding educational programs, offering better healthcare, improved quality of food (more protein!) - all steps that set these babies up for long term survival and productive members of society.
