I’m excited to publicize that hundreds of diapers from a recent Diapers for a Difference drive were donated to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for a special baby shower they hosted for expectant moms experiencing financial difficulty.
Events like this illustrate my goal of making life a little easier for struggling families with babies. It always brings so much joy to see images and hear stories about where the diapers collected are going.
The statistics have not changed: 1 in 2 U.S. families struggles to afford diapers. The facts are very simple: without diapers, babies cannot participate in childcare or early education programs. And without childcare, parents cannot go to work.
It saddens me to report that diaper need is a national health crisis. Please consider donating to one of the diaper banks listed on this site and help a struggling parent keep their baby dry and clean.
