Today marks the start of National Diaper Need Awareness Week. Too many of our neighbors, like Adriana, are often forced to make impossible choices ...between diapers for their kids and other necessities.

"Sometimes, I can't afford diapers, so the diaper program at my local pantry is a big help," she said. A home health aid with two daughters and her elderly mother living at home, Adriana's single paycheck isn't always enough.

Join the fight against diaper need by participating in the #GreatBigDiaperDrive, a campaign being run by our Women Fighting Hunger and Emerging Leaders Board. Support an existing diaper drive or hold your own to collect diapers and funds for struggling families.
