Our mission is to raise awareness of diaper need and provide diapers and diapering supplies to those in need.
Butte Diaper Bank was founded on the belief that something as simple as continued access to clean diapers enables families to thrive and strengthens the community. For this reason, we are committed to providing diapers and diapering supplies to partner organizations within Butte County for community members in need.
Mission:
To raise awareness of diapering issues and partner with local organizations to provide diapers and diapering supplies to Butte County community members in need.
Vision:
A community that believes in and supports the right for all individuals and families to have continued access to clean diapers.
History:
In July 2015, Katie and Sarah came across an article in The Atlantic describing the results of a 2015 Yale University study on an often overlooked issue facing families in the United States, inadequate access to clean diapers. Being moms of babies under the age of one, Katie and Sarah could not imagine dealing with the stress of not having clean diapers for their little ones and felt called into action to help meet this need in their community. Originally they planned to coordinate with a local organization and host a diaper drive. But, after doing some research on community programs, it was immediately clear that the need for clean diapers in Butte County was great and not adequately being met. Just like that, the idea for Butte Diaper Bank was born.
Butte Diaper Bank is still in the early planning and raising awareness stages, but with two committed co-founders and growing community support, Butte Diaper Bank is becoming a reality.
