Why Host a Diaper Drive?
1 in 2 families struggles with diaper need. Without clean diapers, babies are exposed to health risks such as diaper rash, infections, and delayed early childhood education.
Many daycare centers require parents to provide diapers. Without them, parents miss work or school, impacting family stability.
Your diaper drive can be a game-changer! By providing diapers to families in need, you promote child health, support working parents, and strengthen your community.
Take Action Today! Host a diaper drive and help babies stay clean, dry, and healthy. Get started now!
