| DIAPER DRIVE | | |
Did you know:
- 1 in 3 American mothers struggle to provide diapers for their babies
- Babies in low-income households often spend an entire day in a single diaper
- Inadequate diaper changing increases the risk of many health problems, from skin disease to hepatitis
- A baby crying from being in a soiled diaper for prolonged periods of time may be at a greater risk for child abuse
- Diapers are not covered by social service programs
- A healthy change of diapers costs $100/month or more
- Babies need 8-12 diapers a day and may spend 2.5 years in diapers needing about 12,000 diaper changes, costing over $3,000
- Parents who can't afford to leave the required diaper supply at child care may have to quit work to care for their children
If you'd like to increase the number of healthy changes, please drop off your donated diapers at the Y through July 31. Click here for details. |
