502,000 diapers since the start of the pandemic
We are proud of the work we are doing to support Arizona families during this time of need. Working with twenty-eight partner agencies, we have already distributed half a million diapers since the pandemic hit. That said, we are not keeping up with the increased demand our non-profit partners are facing. They are asking for more help, and we are asking for yours. Please consider a donation today that qualifies for the AZ Charitable Tax Credit. 

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. 

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.
  • There is no Federal program that covers diaper costs. Families cannot buy diapers with SNAP benefits (Food Stamps) 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.
