Donate Today!! Diapers = Support

Free diapers can be the gateway, an entry point to open doors of support for our neighbors who are struggling to find stability.

Donating diapers helps local families access an essential item that can be difficult to afford, while supporting the health, comfort, and well-being of young children. Every donation helps keep First Step’s Diaper Bank stocked so families in our community can get the diapers they need, when they need them.

Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent.

Su***de prevention is not one moment or one person's job. It lives in the relationships we build, the support we offer, and the communities we create together. This year's theme highlights the importance of:

Strengthening connections that protect people before a crisis occurs
Making sure everyone knows where to turn and knows it before they need it
Building communities where people feel safe reaching out for help
Supporting recovery and healing long after a crisis has ended
Su***de prevention touches every part of life – from families and schools to workplaces, faith communities, and health care systems.

When people feel connected, valued, and supported, they are more likely to seek help. And when communities come together around a shared commitment to prevention, lives are saved.
