The Power of Giving: Why Every Diaper Counts

Diapers are a basic necessity for babies, yet millions of families struggle to afford them. While many people think of food, shelter, and clothing as essential, diaper need is a hidden crisis affecting low-income parents across the country. Every diaper donated—whether one pack or a full supply—can make a life-changing difference for a struggling family.

Why Diaper Need Is a Critical Issue

1. Diapers Are Not Covered by Government Assistance

Programs like SNAP (food stamps) and WIC help families afford food and formula but do not cover diapers. This leaves parents in a difficult position, often forced to choose between buying diapers and other essentials.

2. Babies Need a Lot of Diapers

📌 A newborn needs 10-12 diapers per day.

📌 A toddler still requires 6-8 diapers daily.

📌 The cost? Up to $100 per month per child—a burden many families cannot afford.

3. Health Risks and Social Barriers

🚼 Babies left in wet or soiled diapers are at higher risk for rashes, infections, and discomfort.

💼 Parents who cannot afford diapers may not be able to send their child to daycare, making it harder to keep a job.

💡 Lack of diapers leads to stress, anxiety, and financial strain, affecting the entire family.
