As a therapist working with many families living in poverty Michelle quickly learned that one of their biggest needs is diapers. Families share countless stories of the desperate measures they took when they couldn't afford to buy diapers.

Diapers are not an allowed purchase from WIC or Food Stamps. Unfortunately countless diapers are thrown away (child outgrows the size before the package is finished, brand doesn’t fit right, etc.) or sitting somewhere collecting dust. Our goal is to prevent diapers from being wasted and provide them to agencies working with struggling families. Since starting in 2014, Diaper Circle has distributed over 450,000 diapers!

What we will take

• new, unopened packs of diapers

• opened packs of diapers

• loose diapers (clean, of course!)

• gift cards to places that sell diapers (to be used only by staff, not given directly to families)

• unopened containers of wipes

• rewards points from Pampers (we use these to earn free diapers!)

WHO WE HELP

• We provide diapers to social service agencies (partner agencies) working with low income families to distribute as needed.
