Over 644,000 diapers distributed in 2021. Help us distribute 700,000 diapers in 2022! 
We are proud of the work we have been doing to support Arizona families during this time of Covid-19. Working with twenty-six partner agencies, we distributed over 644,000 diapers, almost 100,000 wipes, and 8,300 menstrual pads last year . That said, our partner agencies are facing increased demand for services as many  families still find themselves struggling because of the pandemic. Make your AZ Charitable Tax Credit donation today - up to $400 for a single filer or up to $800 for a married couple filing jointly. Together, we can get diapers to 9,000-10,000 children in Maricopa County in 2022!

Why what we do matters 

Many non-profit agencies help with hunger, homelessness, and other needs. There is only one diaper bank in Phoenix that focuses on simply acquiring diapers. By taking on the responsibility of sourcing diapers and then distributing those diapers to our partner agencies, we save those organizations a great deal of time and money so they can help a greater number of Arizona families. Without us, many of our partners say they would not be able to give out any diapers to the families coming through their doors. 

Diaper Need FAQs
  • 1 in 3 American families experience diaper need or the lack of enough diapers to keep a child clean and dry.
  • Negative physical and emotional repercussions result when families face diaper need including skin infections, urinary tract infections, and greater instances of maternal depression. 
  • There is no Federal program that covers diaper costs. Families cannot buy diapers with the existing food stamp programs (i.e. SNAP or WIC benefits). 
  • Arizona does not have a program in place to help families purchase diapers. (Currently only three states do.)
  • 1 in 4 Arizona children live below the Federal Poverty Line.
  • Most childcare providers, even subsidized or free centers, require parents to have a supply of disposable diapers (not cloth) for their child to attend for the day. No childcare means no work for parents. ​
