National Diaper Need Awareness Week
A signature initiative of the National Diaper Bank Network launched in 2012, the National Diaper Need Awareness Week provides individuals, organizations, communities, and elected officials the opportunity to engage in real talk and simple actions. By working together we can ensure that all babies have access to clean diapers and other basic necessities required for them to thrive and reach their full potential.
One in two U.S. families struggles to provide enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy.
We invite you to get involved. Be a part of the growing movement of diaper bank leaders, advocates, and individuals across the U.S.
Here are a few things you can do to participate:
Host a diaper drive.
Volunteer
Engage in Real Talk on social media via #EndDiaperNeed and #BasicsArentBasic
Volunteer with us for Wappy Day
Join us for Wrappy Day Saturday, January 21 from 10am - 12pm!
