We have an important update to share with our community 💙

Due to reduced funding and our commitment to meeting high needs in a sustainable way, we are adjusting our diaper distribution at our Diaper Bank locations. Moving forward, we will be providing 50 diapers per child per month (previously 100).

This change allows us to continue supporting as many families as possible while keeping our program strong for the long term.
We truly appreciate your understanding, support, and partnership as we navigate this together.

Every diaper makes a difference, and we are so grateful to serve this community alongside you.
