National Diaper Need Awareness Week

September 15 – 21, 2025

Find The Good with JLNO during National Diaper Need Awareness Week!

This year, National Diaper Need Awareness Week (September 15–21, 2025) and International Find the Good Day (September 18, 2025) align—reminding us that small acts of service add up to a big impact. Together, these weeks shine a light on how we can find the good by meeting basic needs and building stronger communities.

The JLNO Diaper Bank collects and distributes essential supplies—diapers, period products, and adult incontinence products—to families across Greater New Orleans. By joining us, you help ensure no one in our community goes without these everyday essentials.

Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Get educated about diaper need | When families can’t access basic hygiene products, they’re forced to choose between diapers and other essentials like food, rent, or utilities. Learn more about diaper need.
  • Host a product drive | Partner with us to collect diapers, period products, or adult incontinence supplies any time during the year. We’ll even provide planning resources and materials to help you organize and promote your drive. Sign up and start planning your drive now.

  • Donate diapers | Drop off donations at the following locations throughout the city:

    • JLNO Headquarters: 4319 Carondelet St., New Orleans, LA 70119. Donations accepted Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. 

    • JLNO Diaper Bank: 1109 North Al Davis Road, Unit A, New Orleans, LA 70123. Donations accepted Wednesday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

  • Volunteer at the JLNO Diaper Bank | Community members are welcome to volunteer individually or with a group of friends, coworkers, or family. Sign up to view available shifts.

This Diaper Need Awareness Week, let’s live the spirit of Find the Good Week—by giving our time, lending our voices, and helping our neighbors.

About

National Diaper Need Awareness Week, launched in 2012 by the National Diaper Bank Network with support from Huggies, raises awareness of diaper need in the U.S. and calls on communities to donate, volunteer, and support local diaper banks.

International Find the Good Day, created by the Association of Junior Leagues International, inspires kindness and community action each September by encouraging good deeds, voluntarism, and support for causes that uplift others.
