The Maryland Diaper Bank acknowledges that infants require up to 12 diapers per day, at a cost of $70 to $80 per month per baby and government safety-net programs do not recognize diapers as a basic need. According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, the poorest 20 percent of Americans who buy diapers spend nearly 14 percent of their post-tax income on diapers. Maryland Diaper Bank’s goal of 10,000-diapers can provide a monthly supply of diapers for up to 27 Maryland babies.
About Maryland Diaper Bank: The Maryland Diaper Bank was established to provide basic diaper needs to stimulate health, growth and good hygiene for babies in Maryland. Currently serving Southern Maryland Families, the Maryland Diaper Bank was established to help reduce the struggle of Maryland families by providing babies with adequate diapering essentials.
