Incredible moms from Moms Club of Lincoln donated diapers to the Nebraska Diaper Bank (www.nebraskadiaperbank.org) to support families in their community.
Their kindness highlights a pressing need that the Nebraska Diaper Bank is working hard to address. The nonprofit is calling on local businesses, organizations and community groups to join the effort to fill a critical shortage of larger-sized diapers for families across Nebraska.
Each month, Nebraska Diaper Bank distributes 300,000 diapers to more than 5,000 children. However, sizes 5 and 6 remain the most requested and the hardest to keep in stock, as children typically stay in these sizes longer, creating ongoing demand.
“We’re running low, and we need the community’s help,” said Anna Lehotyak, development director. “When local workplaces and organizations host drives, it ensures that every baby gets the right size diaper, each and every month.”
Because diapers aren’t covered by federal assistance programs like SNAP or WIC, many families struggle to afford enough. Without access to the right size diapers, children face health risks, missed childcare opportunities and increased stress on their families.
“If your business is looking for a meaningful way to give back, this is it,” Lehotyak added. “A small effort can make a big difference for families in need.” To get started or make a donation, visit www.nebraskadiaperbank.org.
