DIAPER BANK

OF CENTRAL OREGON:

Diapers Have the Power to Change Lives

An adequate supply of diapers is a basic need that significantly creates health issues for infants’ toddlers, the well-being of families and impacts the community. Providing diapers is a creative solution and a new approach to prevention by keeping babies warm, dry, and healthy.
Diapers reach far beyond covering a baby.
• Parents are able to work or attend school, and this contributes to strengthening families and our communities.
• Children can attend daycare, which starts the cycle of change towards school readiness and ultimately contributes to future success in school, work, and life.
• An increase in parental happiness creates a reduction in caregiver stress, therefore improving mental health and overall well-being.
• Able to spend income on other critical basic
necessities.
