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 September 15-21 | Drop off donations at locations throughout the city to help us reach our goal of 11,000 diapers!
