The Diaper Bank provides an emergency supply of diapers to children and families living at or below the poverty line through 53 partner agencies in Southern Arizona. With only three full-time staff members equivalents and more than 2,000 volunteer hours, the Diaper Bank distributes 9 million diapers per year to infants and children in Pima County.The Diaper Bank is the nation's first diaper bank, and for 23 years, has served as the model for more than 220 diaper banks across the country. Diapers are the single largest expense outside of food, clothing and shelter in a family's budget, costing up to $100 a month. One in three American mothers struggle to provide an essential change of diapers to their children. Diapers are not covered by WIC, food stamps, or any other safety net program.The Diaper Bank was selected by Angel Charity to receive a gift of $600,000 to eliminate it's mortgage, allowing it to allocate those funds to buy more than 8.5 million diapers.
