The need
In poor and low-income families, a baby can spend a day or longer in one diaper, leading to potential health and abuse risks. Safety-net programs do not cover the cost of diapers. Many parents are already struggling to pay for rent and food and cannot afford the high cost of an adequate supply of diapers for their children. >more
You can help!
A diaper drive is a great community service project for your school, business, civic group, neighborhood or faith organization. Every package of diapers you collect and every dollar you raise brings us closer to our goal of making diapers available to needy infants and toddlers. >more
“I found out about The New Haven Diaper Bank from a newspaper article. I was a visiting nurse in New Haven and saw lots of kids with diaper rash. It was mainly from the families not having enough diapers. It was just a tough, tough thing to get enough diapers. They are so expensive. And what The Diaper Bank is doing is so great. It’s just great.”
