Change from the bottom up.
Founded in 2004, The Diaper Bank centralizes the fundraising and distribution of free diapers to poor families in Connecticut through existing service providers, including local food pantries, soup kitchens, daycare centers, social service agencies and shelters. Recognizing that an inadequate supply of diapers puts families with young children at an increased risk for health and parenting complications, The Diaper Bank serves as a model for like-minded organizations across the country.
The mission of The Diaper Bank is threefold in scope:
1) to ensure that families living in poverty have an adequate supply of diapers for their infants and toddlers;
2) to raise community awareness that “basic human needs” include diapers and that these needs are not being met for children living in poverty;
3) to advocate for policy reform so that diapers are included in the definition of and provision for the “basic human needs” of families
