The COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionally impacting children and families who lack access to clean diapers and other basic necessities. Hoarding, loss of jobs and shelter in place orders have forced more families to turn to nonprofit diaper banks, depleting available supplies.
Our Increased Distribution Exemplifies this Overwhelming Impact
In February, our program distributed 23,621 diapers to 472 children and families. This is a pretty normal month.
In March, we delivered 46,378 diapers to 1,009 children and families.
We expect this number to continue to grow.
Parents strolling the baby aisle across the U.S. are running into limited options and even empty shelves as the world continues its fight against COVID-19. Thank you for your continued support in providing essential items to families in need, especially at these most crucial times.
