Thank you to everyone who participated in the diaper drive! We were able to collect 2,850 diapers.

03/10/2021

5 more days to donate!

Did you know that:

Diapers are not covered by ANT public assistance at this time. That often leads non-profits and social service agencies to pick up the cost of diapers.

Food pantries have often tried to fill the diaper need in their communities but have struggled to ask for these items without taking the focus away from food – their main priority.

It is also expensive to truly address diaper needs. Food pantries that offer diapers often spend hundreds of dollars a month on diapers.
