Junior League of Charleston Collecting Diapers for National Diaper Bank Awareness Week
Beginning on Saturday, September 24th, the Junior League of Charleston (JLC) Diaper Bank will be hosting diaper drives in conjunction with National Diaper Need Awareness Week (September 24th to October 2nd). National Diaper Need Awareness Week is an initiative created by the National Diaper Bank Network to draw attention and mobilize community efforts to end diaper need, an often overlooked and hidden consequence of poverty. Join together with the JLC Diaper Bank and help ensure this basic need is met for the babies and toddlers in our communities.
The JLC Diaper Bank is looking for the community to help out and donate diapers and needed supplies for individuals and families across the Lowcountry. Diapers donated to the JLC Diaper Bank will be distributed throughout various local organizations to ease daily financial burden facing many families throughout the Lowcountry. Monetary donations will be used to purchase the most requested diapers by our partner organizations. For more information on how to donate supplies or money, click here.
One in three American families struggle to afford enough diapers to keep their baby clean, dry, and healthy. No state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers; WIC and SNAP are nutrition-based programs and do not cover diapers. Without a sufficient supply of diapers, parents have to choose between buying food, diapers or other basic necessities.
Between June 1st, 2021 and June 1st, 2022, the JLC Diaper Bank distributed more than 119,700 diapers and pull-up training pants to families in need.
