Our History
We were founded in 2011 as part of the Junior League of Boca Raton and have distributed more than 5 million diapers since.
With such a significant need to further serve families in our community and expand the diaper bank’s capabilities, we became our own 501(c)(3) organization in 2022.
What is diaper need?
Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. Exposure to potential health risks exists when babies wear dirty diapers longer than they should.
Diapers cannot be obtained with food stamps and are in the same classification as cigarettes, alcohol, and pet food as disallowed purchases. In addition, low-income parents cannot take advantage of free or subsidized childcare if they cannot afford to leave disposable diapers at the childcare center.
