As of October 2022, generous donations from people like you have supported the distribution of 454,771 diapers to 10,013 babies and toddlers.
These diapers help low-income babies in early education programs, ensure that parents can continue to send their infants to daycare and go to work to earn a much-needed income and enable other services such as foster programs, pregnancy agencies and more.
Here's an example from one program that focuses on helping new parents.
Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin is a non-profit, human services agency offering more than 35 programs that support the people of Northeast Wisconsin during challenges and transitions in their lives. Through their programs they work towards creating communities of thriving children, strong families and healthy individuals.
Family Services NE Wisconsin has partnered with Jake’s to help families in Shawano County transition into parenthood with supplying diapers through our East Wisconsin Diaper Bank.
“One family shared that since they get help with diapers, they are able to use the money towards other things that are essential, such as food and clothing. Another family shared that they have been able to save that money for fun things to do with the family instead of spending it on diapers,” stated Rachel Herrmann, Family Support Specialist at Parent Connection – Shawano & Menominee Counties.
At Jake’s we are driven to ensure every baby has the diapers he or she needs to stay clean, dry and healthy. When a family has to sacrifice basic hygiene needs in order to afford other basic needs, it reduces a quality life. We are happy to have partnered with Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin’s Parent Connection!
“So much help with this program – Thank you!”
