Donate much needed diapers through February 18 at various locations, or you can even make a monetary donation online!
WHY DIAPERS?
-Diapers and wipes cost about $100/month per child.
-Purchasing diapers is not covered by government systems as they are considered "hygiene items."
-The cost forces some families to reuse disposable diapers, or to leave babies in diapers longer than they should, which could lead to diaper rash, infections and other health problems.
-Babies who have diaper rash tend to cry more. More crying, coupled with the stress of living in need, raises the chances of child abuse.
WHY NOT CLOTH DIAPERS?
-The vast majority of daycare facilities require disposable diapers.
-Many low-income families don't have access to washers and dryers. Most laundromats prohibit the washing of cloth diapers for sanitary reasons.
