Meet the Volunteers Making a Difference

Maria: A Mother Giving Back

As a single mother, Maria knows firsthand the challenges of affording diapers. Years ago, she received assistance from the Houston Lone Star Diaper Bank, and now she volunteers to help other struggling parents.

"I remember how relieved I felt when I got help. Now, I want to do the same for others. Packing diaper kits and seeing the gratitude on parents’ faces reminds me that every little effort counts."

James: The Retiree Who Found Purpose

After retiring, James wanted to find a meaningful way to stay active in the community. He started volunteering at the diaper bank once a week, sorting donations and helping distribute supplies.

"I never realized how much of a burden diaper costs could be for families. Being part of a team that eases that stress—it’s rewarding beyond words."

Taylor: The College Student Making an Impact

Between classes and studying, Taylor dedicates time to organizing diaper drives at her university. She believes in using her platform to spread awareness about diaper need.

"Most people don’t realize that government assistance doesn’t cover diapers. If we all pitch in, even just a little, we can make a huge difference."
