Diaper Bank

Imagine having to choose between diapering and feeding your child. Imagine not being able to go to work or school because you don’t have diapers to send with your child to daycare or an early education program. Imagine your child having to spend from dawn to dusk in the same diaper because you don’t have the money buy the six to ten diapers she needs in a day.

What you are imagining is the reality for one in three families in the U.S. who struggles to provide their baby with clean, dry diapers. Those experiencing this “diaper need” have difficulty with stress management and depression, which in turn negatively affects their children’s health and development.

The Junior League of New Orleans has founded its Diaper Bank to help families from the bottom up. Leveraging the strength of our entire membership, we will raise our community’s awareness of the “diaper need,” host diaper drives, buy diapers at a highly discounted rate, provide volunteer support for sorting, packing, and distributing diapers, and storing diapers.

As part of our focus of Advancing the Wellbeing of Women, we provided over 1 million diapers between June 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022 to women and families throughout Metropolitan New Orleans.
