Almost half of young children in diapers lack access to clean, dry diapers. This circumstance is known as diaper need. United Way of Westchester and Putnam is joining the efforts of The Sharing Shelf to host a Community Diaper Drive to bring awareness to the issue and recognize National Diaper Need Awareness Week, which is September 15-21. The diapers will support the Westchester Diaper Bank.

There are many reasons why families may experience diaper need. Some families may not be able to afford diapers, while others may not have access to transportation to get to a store. Still others may have difficulty changing diapers due to a disability or illness. 

To participate in the drive, you can drop off bags of diapers at one of the locations below or order through our Amazon Wishlist.

Together, we can make a difference and ensure that all babies have access to the clean, dry diapers they need to stay healthy and thrive.
