Arizona Diaper Bank

About

The Diaper Bank provides diapers to children and adults through a network of more than 80 community partners including crisis nurseries, shelters, spousal abuse centers, public health departments, and senior centers.

Facts you would never know........
• Approximately 7 million diapers are needed annually throughout Arizona but due to its limited financial resources, was only able to collect and distribute 14% of those requests.
• Regardless of age or size, 6-10 diapers are needed daily (around $120 per month).

For Infants and Children it's a matter of hygiene and access to good childcare.
• 1 in 3 American moms struggle with diaper needs. They often cut back on food, utilities, and other necessities to provide diapers for their babies.
• To be eligible to attend daycare programs, parents are often required to supply diapers for their children.

For Adults it is a matter of dignity and the opportunity to participate fully in life.
• 25% of diapers collected and distributed by the Diaper Bank are for adult incontinence needs.
• According to the National Association for Continence "More than half of all residents in nursing homes are incontinent and it is the second leading cause of institutionalization."
