The Need 
The Diaper Bank Needs Diapers! 
 
 
Diapers don't stay around for long at our Diaper Bank.  The diapers collected during diaper dirves are generally gone within a few weeks.  Sometimes we think diapers have a shorter shelf life than milk. 
 
Tiny infants go through as many as 10 diapers a day, so the tiny sizes don't stick around the warehouse for long. On the other hand, large sizes (5 and 6) are for toddlers who stay in one size for a longer time, meaning that more kids are  in those larger sizes for a longer time.  Finally, most folks don't think to donate adult sizes, but adult diapers make up a full 20% of the Diaper Bank's  demand for diapers - both for the elderly and individuals with disabilities.
 
So please, when you do your shopping, make it a habit - pick up a package of diapers for those who can't afford them. 
 
An infant uses 12 diapers a day

A toddler uses 8 diapers a day

A disabled adult uses 4-6 diapers a day
