Helping single mothers provide diapers for their children
Medicaid covers 47% of all births, on average, in the U.S., yet no government program provides diapers as a basic need for babies.
There are 9.6 million single mothers in the US and 2.9 million live in poverty.
60% of homeless families are single women with children.
17.2 million children under 18 are being raised by single mothers.
Why Diapers Matter
Diaper need is defined as the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry, and healthy.
1 in 2 U.S. moms report suffering from diaper need.
Diaper need impacts the physical, mental & economic well-being of children & parents.
Most Childcare centers require Parents to provide a day’s supply of disposable diapers.
Without diapers, babies cannot be placed in child care facilities nor participate in early childhood education programs. Without childcare, parents cannot go to work.
Let's make a difference, one diaper at a time.
Together, we can address the diaper need crisis and support our community's most vulnerable members. Your participation in the World's Largest Diaper Drive can change lives and build a healthier future for babies and families in need.
