Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or child clean,dry, and healthy.
Here are the facts as stated on the National Diaper Bank website:
- 1 in 3 American families reports experiencing diaper need.
- 5.2 million children in the U.S. aged three or younger live in poor or low-income families.
- Infants require up to 12 diapers per day, toddlers about 8.
- Disposable diapers can cost $70 to $80 per month per baby.
- No state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers.
- Without transportation, buying diapers at a convenience store rather than a large “big box” store can significantly increase the monthly cost of diapers.
- Most childcare centers, even free and subsidized facilities require parents to provide a day’s supply of disposable diapers.
Ways you can help:
- Donate diapers to your state or local Diaper Bank Organization,
- Hold a diaper drive.
- Volunteer at your local diaper bank.
- Donate money.
