Diaper Drives
Low-income families with young children often struggle with diaper need, having to make tough choices between diapers and other necessities. As a member of the National Diaper Bank Network, CFBNJ partners with more than 200 of our agencies to provide parents with diapers each month to keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy.
Since 2021, CFBNJ’s Women Fighting Hunger has hosted the #GreatBigDiaperDrive to address diaper need. The 2023 #GreatBigDiaperDrive was a huge success raising more than $64,000 and collecting over 30,000 diapers, tens of thousands of wipes and other necessities for our neighbors in need.
Learn More About Diaper Need
Together we can create some energy around diaper need, an important and often hidden public health issue that has only been exacerbated by COVID-19. The 2023 Virtual Lunch & Learn featured:
- Denyelle Burgess (Impact Program Manager at CFBNJ)
- Dr. Toju Chike-Obi (Medical Director, HealthCore Ltd. and The HealthZone Wellness Initiative (NGO), Women Fighting Hunger Programs Co-Chair)
- Lacey Gero (Director of Government Relations at the National Diaper Bank Network)
- Karyn Leit (Executive Director at Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges (IFPO))
Raise Diaper Need Awareness to Host an On-Site #GreatBigDiaperDrive
Spread the word. Announce your drive via social media, emails, and notices to your specific group. Use CFBNJ’s Diaper Awareness resources, including sample messages and social media images, to share information about diaper drives and educate your family, friends, colleagues, and community about diaper needs.
Start a Virtual Diaper Drive
Every $1 donated can provide 6 diapers for a family in need. With its enormous purchasing power, CFBNJ can procure more diapers per dollar than any individual alone. You can stretch your gift to be more impactful when you host a virtual diaper drive. In addition, some people in your community may want to skip the store and choose to support virtually.
