Diaper Bank of North Carolina
One in every two families struggles to afford diapers.
Even after working two or three jobs, many parents are faced with the stress, guilt, and desperation of not being able to afford a healthy supply of diapers. Families attempt to make diapers last as long as possible, which can mean that their babies and toddlers spend the entire day in a single diaper, causing discomfort and even leading to infections.
Public safety net programs, such as WIC and SNAP (previously known as Food Stamps) do not cover the purchase of diapers, leaving many families with the difficult choice of buying diapers or other necessities with their limited funds. Most daycare centers require a day’s worth of diapers, creating yet another challenge to achieving self-sufficiency that low-income working families face.
