Nebraska Diaper Bank (NDB) (nebraskadiaperbank.org) joins diaper banks across America to advocate for diaper needs for National Diaper Need Awareness Week (NDNAW) this September 23-29.

According to the National Diaper Bank Network, one in two families with young children reported experiencing diaper need in the U.S. One in three families suffers from diaper need in Nebraska.

Clean, dry diapers are necessary to the health and well-being of growing babies, yet many families struggle to provide enough diapers for their child’s needs. Diapers reduce family stress and help parents go to work. Last year, Nebraska Diaper Bank distributed over 2.8 million diapers to 10,784 babies, and they are on track to distribute 3.5 million diapers in 2024.

Businesses can help NDB keep babies happier, healthier and safer. Do you want to make a difference? Volunteer with NDB! They serves 800 babies a month in Lincoln, so all wrapped diapers make a direct impact for local families. Do you want NDB to come to you? NDB hosts mobile wraps, bringing the same outstanding volunteer experience to your location. You can also make a big impact by hosting a diaper drive. Gather coworkers, collect diapers and raise awareness. Download the toolkit on Nebraska Diaper Bank’s website at nebraskadiaperbank.org.
