Diaper need, or the lack of an adequate supply of diapers to keep a baby or child clean dry, and healthy, affects one in two American families. For many families, diaper need may mean keeping their child in a diaper longer than they should to stretch the use of that diaper. For others, it may mean missing work or school due to a lack of diapers to leave for their child at child care.
The Children & Youth Partnership for Dare County (CYP) hopes to bring awareness to diaper need in the Dare County community, as well as how the community can help CYP’s Diaper Bank continue to provide diapers—a basic need—for families with young children.
